Instructions

  1. Roasting Peppers:
    • Roast the cubanelle, poblano, and yellow bell peppers over open flame until the skin is charred.

    • Squeeze excess water and add green onions to the saucepan along with diced roasted peppers.
    • Blend the mixture well and simmer on medium heat.
    • Mix cornstarch with cold water and add to saucepan, stirring until the sauce thickens.
    • Season with salt and keep warm.
  3. Cooking the Grits:
