Instead of using a jar of roasted red pepper, you can roast your own fresh red peppers. 

Firstly, start by roasting the red bell pepper in the oven. 

Next, turn on the broiler on your oven. Cut the top off each pepper and pull out the seeds. Discard the seeds and the top.

After that, cut the peppers in half, and lay skin side up on a baking sheet lined with foil.

Broil until skins are black which should take about 10 minutes.

Remove peppers from oven. 

Finally, put the peppers in a bowl and cover for about 10 minutes to make it easier to take off the skin. Remove the skin.
