🔪 Starting from raw? The basics (2)

Roasting peppers

Roast whole peppers at 450°F (or over a flame) until blackened all over, about 25 minutes. Steam in a covered bowl 10 minutes, then peel, stem, and seed.

Soaking cashews

Cover with boiling water for 15 minutes (or cold water for 2+ hours) and drain — that's all 'soaked' means. It's what makes them blend into silky cream.
