1
Preheat broiler.

Broil bell peppers on a broiler pan about 5 inches from heat, turning occasionally with tongs, until skins are blackened, about 15 minutes.

Transfer to a bowl and let stand, covered, until cool enough to handle, about 20 minutes.

Peel peppers, discarding stems and seeds, and coarsely chop, then puree in a blender with 2 tablespoons water, scraping down sides of blender, until smooth.

Transfer to a colander set over a bowl and drain off excess liquid, gently pressing on spinach.

9
Heat 1/2 teaspoon oil in an 8-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking.
