General - Preparing Peppers

Rinse well in cold water. Cut off the stalk to 1cm/�-inch or remove completely if required. As the skin is edible, there is no need to peel unless the recipe specifically requires this.� Cut in half lengthways and remove the seeds and as much of the white pith as possible. If stuffing, you can just slice off the top (stalk end), remove the seeds and as much pith as possible and then use the top as a "lid" once the main body has been filled.
