PREPARE:
Wash well under cool water. Cut off the top of the pepper, just below the curve under the stem. Pop the stem out of the top circle. Slice off the bottom of the pepper. Set the remaining pepper upright, then slice through one side (do not cut the whole pepper in half). Cut out the middle seeds and white meat. Unroll the pepper, place skin side down, and cut into strips or chunks.
