 2.5 lbs (1.2 kg) red bell peppers

 Notes: I bet blended Mori Nu Lite tofu would work well as a substitute
 for the yogurt.  Also, an alternative prep for the red pepper puree
 would be to cook the peppers over gas flame on stove or under broiler
 till skin is black.  Place in zip-lock bag for 5-10 minutes.  Remove
 skin and then blend to a puree in blender.
