vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes. Cover and simmer 10 minutes. Use as
a topping for rice, pasta or couscous, as a filling for burritos or atop
baked potatoes. Makes 8 servings.

NOTE: To roast pepper using gas stove, wash pepper and place on
longhandled fork. Hold pepper in gas stove flame and turn constantly,
allowing skin to blister and blacken, but not burn or smoke. When skin is
thoroughly blackened, remove pepper from flame and place in paper or
plastic bag and allow to steam 15 minutes. Remove pepper and scrape off
skin with a table knife, then seed and finely chop pepper.

To roast in oven, set oven to broil and place pepper 4 inches from heating
element, turning frequently until skin is blackened. Follow same procedure,
placing pepper in bag, then seeding and chopping.
