To roast chilies:
- Poke a hole in the end of each shile with an ice pick.
- Spread chiles on a cookie sheet and broil, turning until skins are blistered on all sides. If chiles begin to get too brown, lower the rack to keep them from burning.
- When chiles are completely roasted, place them between dish towels or in a plastic bag to steam. This aids in removing the skins.
- Peel off the skins as soon as the chiles are cool enough to handle by laying chiles on a board and slitting one side lengthwise. Open chiles carefully and removed seeds and lateral veins. Rinse under cool water and place on a towel to dry.
