Roasting chiles is the most popular preparation before inclusion in a

dish. The rich, smoky flavor is delicious. Roasting is not a mystery and

can be done in any kitchen. Roast over an open flame, in a broiler, or

over a grill. Whichever method you use, start with a chile that is firm

and fresh. Here's a foolproof way to amaze your friends.

 

1. Wash, dry, and arrange all chiles on a broiler or grill rack.

 

2. Place rack about 1 inch above a medium-hot grill or under a preheated

broiler, or hold it about 1 inch above the flame of a gas stove.

 

3. Turn chiles frequently until blistered and lightly browned (not

charred) all over.

 

4. Remove and place chiles in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap or place

them in a plastic or paper bag. As chiles steam, or " sweat, " their skins

will loosen.

 

5. After sweating the chiles, remove unwashed chile skins (washing at this

point will remove the flavor of the natural oils), then remove seeds and

ribs, (wear plastic gloves until you determine whether your hands can

tolerate the oils.)
