Steps:

• Cover broiler pan with foil and preheat broiler.
• Place peppers on hot foil.
• Broil for 15-20 minutes, turning each pepper every 5 minutes until skin is blackened.
• Remove peppers from broiler and place in a brown paper bag.
• Roll top of bag down and set aside for 15 minutes, this steams the skins which makes removing the skin easier.
• Peel peppers by cutting around the stem and twisting it, halve peppers and peel the skin back with a knife.
• Rinse peppers with cold water and remove seeds.
• Slice pepper halves lengthwise into 1/4 inch strips.
• Place pepper strips into a jar.
• Add oregano, garlic and oil.
• Close the lid and shake to blend.
• Allow to marinate an hour.
• We like this served with garlic bread.
• This will keep one week in the refrigerater in jar.
• I haven't tried letting it marinate that long but I bet it would be great.
