ROASTING TIPS: Preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil and arrange the bell peppers on a baking sheet. Broil 3 inches from the heat, turning frequently, until charred on all sides, about 10 minutes. Let stand until cool enough to handle. Place a strainer over a small bowl. Peel the peppers over the stainer, discarding the cores and seeds and allowing the juices to drip in the bowl.
