Peperoni Rossi Arrostiti

Cooks' notes:

•If your sea salt is very granular and pebblelike, crush it using the flat side of a large heavy knife or the bottom of a heavy skillet.
•If you're unable to grill outdoors, peppers can be broiled on rack of a broiler pan about 2 inches from heat 10 to 20 minutes.
•Peppers can be roasted and cut into strips (but not marinated) 2 days ahead and chilled, covered.
