Place them under medium-high heat until the skin of the peppers is charred and blistered, and the tomatoes have softened and slightly blackened. This should take about 8-10 minutes. Once roasted, place the peppers in a bowl and cover with a damp cloth to steam for 5 minutes. Peel off the skins and remove the seeds from the peppers.
