Start by roasting the peppers under the broiler or a cast iron griddle until charred all over. Transfer to a bowl and cover with a towel until cool enough to handle. Peel and discard the core with the seeds. Tear or chop the flesh of the peppers into strips or bite size pieces. Transfer back into the bowl and mix with 1 Tbsp of red wine vinegar and optional 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil. Set aside.
