naked, peeled chili peppers on the left, the skins came off very easily as the broiler had done a wonderful job of evenly roasting the pepper and after the minutes left in the bag to steam, the skin peeled off in long, wide strips... then I removed the tops and seeds along with a bit of the membrane inside the pepper, the flesh is exceedingly tender, you want to proceed with delicacy... <<<     what's a little mess, eh Binky? Now comes the real work...     >>>
