Meanwhile, cut peppers in half, and put the 8 halves cut side down on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper and bake at 400 F for 15 or 20 minutes until the skin is starting to blister. When ready, put 1 tablespoon of oil in the bottom of a glass or stoneware baking pan, and place the peppers cut side up next to each other. Turn oven down to 35o F.
Also, at the same time, put 2 tablespoons of the oil into a pan and saute the chopped tomatoes with salt and pepper and chopped herbs until tender and liquid.

    Very Good
    Made these for dinner last night. THe flavor was good, but they were a little dry. I will try again using a bit more tomato or tomato juice. Thanks for sharing! - 11/2/09
