Place the red bell peppers over an open flame on a gas grill and char the pepper on the entire outside until it starts to turn black and blister, about ten minutes.

Immediately wrap the hot peppers in clear plastic wrap to trap the steam inside and wait 15 to 20 minutes.

Unwrap the plastic and pull the skins off the peppers.

In a blender or food processor, combine all the ingredients and blend until you reach your desired consistency.

Serve immediately or store in a jar in the refrigerator for seven to ten days.
