* To roast chilies, line a baking sheet with foil and place chilies in a single layer. Position oven rack so that top of chilies are about 4 inches from broiler element. Broil, rotating to char on all sides. Remove from oven and draw up sides of foil to encase chilies. Allow to rest for 5 minutes. Open foil. When cool enough to handle, remove peel and seeds. Dice.
