This is from the 1/28 Los Angeles Times Food Section "Low-Fat Cooking" column by Donna Deane:

Roast pepper on rack over flame of gas burner, hold with tongs over flame or broil on rack in oven, turning until all sides are charred. Place pepper in brown paper bag or bowl covered tightly with plastic wrap and let steam 15 minutes. Peel, remove stem and seeds, then chop.
