  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 230 °C (450 °F) and set the peppers on a lined baking tray.

  3. 3

    Put the hot peppers in a bowl, cover with a plate and leave them for 10 min to loosen the skins.

    Break up the tomatoes with a fork in a bowl, keeping some small chunks.

    Add the tomatoes with their juice and the diced peppers. Season with 1/2 tsp salt.
