Roasted Red Peppers with Yellow Pepper Puree image

A delicious side dish from Rozanne Gold, one of my favorite cookbook authors. Roasted yellow bell pepper puree floats a whole roasted red bell pepper-gorgeous! You can make this at least 24 hours in advance if desired. If you like, serve it with your favorite vinegar on the side.

2 large red sweet bell peppers
1 large yellow sweet bell pepper
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or 2 tablespoons garlic oil

Steps:

  • Keep the peppers whole and roast over an open flame or under a broiler; steam inside a paper bag and peel; see any of the roasted red bell pepper recipes posted on this site for more detailed instructions if needed.
  • Core all the peppers, but keep the red ones whole, removing the seeds from the center; set aside.
