Notes
Pro hack to remove red pepper and tomato skins
Pro hack : Remove the hot tomatoes and red peppers from the oven and put them in in a plastic bag and leave to cool. This little trick helps you remove the skins easily, without burning yourself, because the sides of the tomatoes and red peppers will stick to the plastic bag and peel off easily. As you remove the tomatoes and red peppers from the plastic bag, remove the skins, core and seeds.
