Cooking Tip
Ancho Chili Peppers
To restore the ancho chili peppers for use in the salsa, soak the peppers in water for 30 minutes. Fresh ancho chili peppers are known as poblanos.
Cooking Tip
Roasted Red Bell Peppers
Preheat oven broiler. Place seeded and quartered on a baking sheet about 4 inches from heat. Broil until bell peppers skins are blackened. Remove peppers from baking sheet to paper bag. Seal paper bag tightly. Heat from steam will help pepper skins come off. Peel off skins and drizzle with a little olive oil.
