ABOUT THE ROASTED PEPPERS

You'll need some roasted red peppers for this recipe. You can use store-bought, jarred roasted peppers, or roast the peppers yourself. Both options work well, so the choice is yours.

If you prefer to buy jarred roasted peppers, they are sold in all large grocery stores, usually located in the pickle aisle, or somewhere next to olives. You can also buy roasted peppers on Amazon.
