Betty demonstrates how to make Roasted Red Peppers and Steamed Green Peas. I chose this combination of vegetables to create a "Christmas-y" red and green look for my holiday table.

GETTING READY
1. In a medium to large bowl, place red pepper slices.

8. Using tongs flip pepper slices and roast for another 10 minutes.
9. Turn the oven to broil and allow it to sear for a minute.
10. Meanwhile, in steamer, steam peas until tender.
11. Remove pepper slices from oven and place them on the outer edge of a serving bowl.
12. Put steamed peas in the center of the ring of roasted pepper. Leave the tips of pepper open to show around the edge.

TIPS
Peas should be tenderer than crisp tender.
If you do not have steamer, boil it in water. Make sure that the peas are not overcooked.
