Re: peppers

Grill them! Cut them into slices, coat with some olive oil, and throw them on the grill. Yummy.

Re: peppers

I like them grilled too. Or sauteed in olive oil, fresh garlic and lots of fresh ground pepper and a dash of salt.

Re: peppers

Being the uber-boring person I am, I prefer them sliced into strips and eaten raw! I'm all about the crunchy!

Re: peppers

I vote for stuffing them with a ground meat mixture. Yummm!

I like to slice them like the chefs on TV and end up with 4 crunch flat pieces and then use them as the "bread for a cheese sandwich or chicken or egg salad sandwich. Much easier then stuffing them.
Or saute them with onions and mushrooms as a side dish or omlette middle

In OWL I love to make roasted pepper sauce or use them as edible bowls for chile, bean dip, cheese sauce faux nachoes veggie dipping

Re: peppers

Roasting them is yummy. Put them on the grill, whole, and turn them until they're blackened on all sides. Then put it in a ziploc bag and seal it. (This helps the pepper to sweat.) After it cools down, remove the pepper, and take off the blackened skin...it should slip right off. Mmmm...roasted red pepper. It's great with roast beef and brie, or lots of other things.

Depending on what kind of stove or broiler you have, it can be done there as well...

Oh...this can be done with green chiles as well....

Re: peppers

I made some chicken the other night with red peppers and added some cream cheese and some 0 carb salsa. It was great.

Re: peppers

I often make a red pepper sauce by cooking sliced or chopped peppers (the orange and yellow ones add extra colour and taste) gently in butter and seasoning then either serving it as is or adding some cream or sour cream and allowing it to thicken.
