Experiment with spices listed, you may want to vary amounts to get taste you desire. Just sample juices every so often and adjust seasonings.

ROASTED PEPPERS:

Green bell peppers
Olive oil
Oregano
Salt and pepper to taste

Wash and dry peppers. Place them on a broiling pan 4 to 6 inches beneath the broiler. Watch them closely. When the part nearest the flame blackens, turn the peppers. Continue turning, until as much skin as possible has been blackened.

Remove from the broiler and wrap in wet paper towels. when peppers are cool enough to handle peel off charred skin. Remove stem and seeds. Put peppers in a bowl with a sprinkle of olive oil and a dash of oregano, salt and pepper.

Peppers may be refrigerated, but should be served at room temperature. Peppers are also wonderful on pizzas or sausage sandwiches or in a garlic vinaigrette.
