#231 Roasted Peppers

At this time every year Harmons does Roasted Peppers.  
You go inside the store and pick a case (or more) of Peppers.  They have mild, medium and hot.
You pay for them at the register.  This year they cost 26.99/case.  Then you take them outside where they have the roasters.   They put them in a bath and then into the big roaster, and roast them for you. 
It if fun to watch.  The peppers start to make a popping sound and the smell of the roasted peppers is delicious!.

When they are done roasting they put them in a big plastic bag and tie it so that the peppers can Sweat.  I usually take mine home and let them sit for awhile.  1. I want them to cool enough that I can handle them  2. I want to let them sweat so that the skins are easy to take off.  3. I love the way my whole house smells like roasted peppers. 

Then the work begins.  All the peppers need to have the skins taken off and be seeded so I can place them in the freezer.   15 bags with about 15 peppers in each. It took me about 2 hours to get them done.
But it is worth the effort.  These peppers are going to make some really yummy Chile Verde!!!  Bon Apetite!
