Can I please ask do I need to roast the peppers first.

RD

Yes you do need to roast them first. Here is a tutorial on how to roast them. Remember though you can buy them already roasted and peeled in the jar but they tend to be more expensive. Making them yourself if fun, delicious and you can use them on sandwiches and many other dishes. Good luck! https://youtu.be/Lvp6aoH0_cs
