Roast the peppers by placing them whole and washed over the flame of the stove. Do not be afraid they will not catch fire but the skin will become all black. When they are completely black put them to rest in a plastic bag, I use those from freezer. Close the bag and let it rest for about ten minutes. |

After this time clean the peppers and thanks to the steam that will be created inside the bag the skin will come away with very little effort. Clean the pepper, remove the inside and the seeds then cut into chunks and place them in the glass of the immersion blender together with salt, pepper, basil and a little extra virgin olive oil. Blend well all until you get a very fragrant cream. |
