We put everything in a hot oven and bake for about 30 minutes. Time, of course, is not important, and the difference is 10-15 degrees too. The main thing is that the pepper becomes soft. In the process of baking, it will swell strongly, and the skin will move away from the pulp.

And here we have a marinade filling (did not forget, there is also juice from peppercorns) - mix it. She's so fragrant! Pour it into a bowl with pepper and mix everything gently.
