Preparation
- Step 1
Char the peppers over an open flame or under the broiler until the skin blisters and turns black on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer the peppers to a paper bag, close and set aside until the peppers are tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Split each pepper lengthwise, lay it flat and use a sharp knife to lift off the skin and remove the veins and seeds. Do not rinse the peppers.
- Step 2
Put the peppers, salt, pepper, yogurt and ricotta into a food processor and process until smooth.
- Step 3
In a small saucepan, heat ½ cup of the puree over low heat until it is hot, but not boiling, and remove from the heat. Soften the gelatin in 1 tablespoon of tepid water and stir into the warmed portion of the puree. Continue stirring for 5 minutes, until the gelatin is completely dissolved and the puree has cooled slightly, then stir in the remaining unheated puree. Place in the food processor and process briefly to combine well.
- Step 4
Put the mousse into a clean bowl, cover and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours until firm.
