    Method: 

    Quarter peppers lengthwise and remove stem and seeds. Place them peel side up in a broiler pan. Broil 2 inches from heat for about 10 minutes or until peppers are charred. Put them immediately in a paper bag, close tightly and allow to cool. Peel skin off peppers and cut into 1/2-inch wide strips. Combine oil, lemon juice and salt in a jar or plastic container and add peppers. Store in the refrigerator until you need them. Peppers can also be charred on the grill instead of the broiler. For a more pungent flavor, add garlic and rosemary to the oil.
