Mediterranean Hummus and Pita

One large red pepper
1 tsp canola oil

Heat oven broiler to high. Toss the pepper (whole) in the canola oil. Place the oiled pepper on a cookie sheet. Broil in oven with broiler on high, turning the peppers every 30 or 40 seconds, until the pepper is charred with the skin turning black. Transfer pepper to a bowl and cover with plastic so that it steam a bit and cools, approximately one hour. Once cooled, peel skin off pepper with paper towel. Slice and take seeds out. Dice pepper slices and set aside as topping to enjoy with hummus and pita.
