Tip - Roasting & peeling capsicum: For simple peeling, ensure the capsicum skins are well
blistered before sealing them in a plastic bag to sweat. Once cooled, simply cut the capsicum
in half and pull the skin from the base to the stem. The skin should come away easily, but if not,
simply cook a little longer, then leave to sweat again and then peel.
