salt to taste
1 clove garlic
1/2 quart water or enough to barely cover chopped peppers

Directions

1

Roast peppers in a 450F oven for 20-25 minutes until the skin blisters.

Immediately place all of the peppers in a bowl (or plastic bag) and cover for about 20-30 minutes.
3

Remove the skins and seeds from the peppers and discard.
4

Chop the flesh of the peppers into bite size pieces and place in a pot with garlic and enough water to just barely cover the peppers.
5

Bring to a boil and season with salt.
6

Turn down to a simmer and allow to cook for several hours.
7

The peppers should break down so that you are left with a chunky puree that is not too watery.

You may puree the peppers for a smoother consistency if you like.
