Roasting Chiles

You can do this with pretty much any kind of chile. Just make sure you have the fan going and a window open. The fumes are pretty good :)

Turn your broiler on and get it heated.
Clean and dry your desired amount of chilies.
Place on cookie sheet.
Put in oven under the broiler.
Turn them every couple minutes to get all the sides cooked.
You want them mostly charred (about 60%) this should take 5-10 minutes
Remove from oven and put them in a plastic bag, a plate with plastic wrap over, anything to get them steaming inside. Keep in bag for 15 minutes.
After fifteen minutes remove one at a time and rub the skin with your fingers and peel of the skin. It should come off really easy. If not you can take a small knife and peel it off.
These can be kept in the fridge for a few days or the freezer for a few months.
