Step 1

Using tongs or a long fork, hold 1 pepper directly in the flame of a gas stove, turning, until blackened and blistering. Transfer to a large bowl; repeat process with remaining peppers.

Step 2

Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let pepper stand 5 to 10 minutes. Uncover and remove skin from peppers by rubbing with a paper towel. Remove stems, ribs, and seeds before using.
