I love bell peppers! I like stuffed peppers - just like everyone else - but I love them fried with onions and sausage in a bit of olive oil; seasoned with garlic, parsley, salt and pepper.
They are also good in salads of all kinds (veggie, pasta, bean, etc.) - whether you use a vinaigrette dressing or a mayo-type dressing. I also used them on my panini (grilled sandwiches and hoagie-type sandwiches. Stuff with a bread/cheese/butter stuffing for a different type of stuffed pepper. Stir fry dishes look so nice with the different color peppers also. You can also char them to blister the skin; place in a plastic bag to "sweat" and peel off the charred part and enjoy roasted pepper sandwiches. Enjoy them sliced with sliced onion and a nice vinaigrette dressing and serve as a sandwich stuffer with sliced tomatoes. Tuna and rice salad look nice served in pepper halves also. Skillet fried pepper strips, asparagus and mushrooms for a nice side. Bake or skillet fry with assorted veggies - potatoes, onions, mushrooms, carrots, celery, zucchini, broccoli and cauliflower, etc. |

Thanks Mama!
Lots of great ideas there. I hadn't thought of the fire roasted peppers. They're great with sandwhichs and pita sandwiches. But I'm thinking stir fried ... hmmm, aren't peppers in sweet and sour chicken? I'm thinking the color would go great with the chicken, pineapple and sweet and sour sauce. I don't have a cookbook right here, but I'm certain that's the main ingredients besides cornstarch and soy sauce. |

I love chow chow. It's one of those salads that's only made at home. The color of the peppers suits that well. Maybe I'll go find a nice farmers market with some of the other items fresh from the garden. Tomatoes ought to be coming in now. I don't recall using cabbage in when I last made chow chow.

I think any type of stir fry would be well suited for such colorful and fresh peppers. Add a few mushrooms, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, onions and either chicken or beef and you will have a wonderful stir fry dish. You can either make your own seasoning combination or try the Tone's Asian Grill and Stir Fry seasoning.
You could also make a rice dish with peppers, mushrooms, onions, beef or chicken and old bay seasoning. |
