For the Roasted Bell Pepper Puree
- Preheat your broiler (grill) and place whole red bell peppers on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
- Grill the bell peppers under the broiler for about 10 to 15 minutes, turning them regularly, until the skin is blackened and blistered.
- Remove the bell peppers from the oven and transfer them to a bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or place the bell peppers in a resealable plastic bag to let them cool for about 10 minutes.
- Once the bell peppers are cooled, gently peel off the blackened skin. It should easily come off.
- Cut the bell peppers in half and remove the seeds and membranes inside.
- Chop the bell peppers into pieces and place them in a blender or food processor.
- Blend the bell peppers until you have a smooth and homogeneous puree.
- Use the roasted bell pepper puree immediately in the martini recipe, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for future use.
