Preparation

Step 1
Heat broiler. Place pepper under broiler, and roast until blackened on all sides. Remove, and let cool. Peel away skin and seeds, and discard. Pull pepper into 3 or 4 long pieces and set aside.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together egg yolk, mustard, vinegar and a large pinch of salt. Beginning a drop at a time, whisk in oils. As they emulsify, add oils a little faster, in a slow steady stream. When mixture is thick, taste and adjust seasoning. It should be highly seasoned.
Step 3
Transfer the mixture to a blender or a food processor, add the pepper and puree. Taste, and adjust the seasoning before serving.
