• Transfer the peppers to a bowl. Cover the bowl with a plate or with plastic, and let sit for 30 minutes, until cool.
• Carefully remove the skins, then, holding the peppers over the bowl so no juice escapes, separate into halves or quarters and remove the stems, seeds and membranes Cut into strips if desired, and place in another bowl.

If you wish, toss with the optional ingredients shortly before serving.
• Using a Burner: Light a gas burner and place the pepper directly over the flame. As soon as one section has blackened, turn the pepper, using tongs, to expose another section to the flame. Continue to turn until the entire pepper is blackened. Place in a plastic bag and seal, or place in a bowl and cover tightly. Allow to sit until cool, then remove the charred skin. You may need to run the pepper briefly under the faucet to rinse off the final bits of charred skin. If so, pat dry with paper towels. Cut the pepper in half, holding it over a bowl, remove the seeds and membranes, and store as instructed above.
