Instructions:

1. Wash the peppers and dry them well with a paper towel.

2. I make the sauce first while those are drying.

3. In a small bowl, mix all ingredients from mayo on down the list. Set aside.

4. Heat oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat.

5. Place peppers in the skillet. Turning frequently over 10 minutes to get them coated in oil and blistered.
