So these suckers are really cheap right now. What kind of recipes are heavy on pepper?

[Anonymous No.6981469]

Cook up some ground meat, season with whatever spices you like, mix with rice, cut off tops of pepper, stuff mix inside, bake.

I use them in easy stews

you need:

>chicken or beef (season this with a little cumin), sliced thin
>potatoes
>assortment of bell peppers
>maybe some carrot
>tomato puree
>jalepeno peppers
>onion
>garlic
>salt


Cook the meat in a pan with salt and oil, temporarily remove, cook potatoes (and carrot if using it) in same pot, when they are close to being done add back the meat. Add in the bell peppers, onion, garlic, sliced jalepenos and tomato puree. Cook till everything is done.

If you can find El Pato sauce that is all the better, instead of two cans of tomato puree I use one of tomato and another of El Pato. Feel free to omit the jalepenos. Truth be told I add in the onion and garlic at different points, if you think you added them in too early and that they will burn before everything else is done cooking just remove them and add them back in once you add the puree. To brighten up the flavor you can squeeze in some orange juice.

Very easy and very tasty.

follow a tomato sauce recipe, but use bell peppers in lieu of the tomatoes.

use your sauce for literally any savory dish. yum.

Tomatoes have a lot more moisture though. I've never tried it, but I don't see how you could substitute just substitute peppers for tomatoes.

Actually I find that for some types of peppers they're kind of expensive now, for instance chocolate habaneros. Whatever, it'll be worse later when not in season and impossible to get.

I get a ton of them and freeze them for the rest of the year.

You can. Learn to Harissa paste. http://www.goodfood.com.au/good-food/cook/recipe/harissa-20130514-2jj3c.html

And yes, you could easily replace the chillis with capsicum.

[Anonymous No.6982002]

>>6981999
What what what?
Chilies are capsicums, tomatoes are not which is what >>6981824 referenced.
Are you a drunk Aussie?

[Anonymous No.6982007]

>>6982002
... nevermind, I misread that. It came across as someone wanted to substitute capsicums, like bell peppers or chile peppers for tomatos and thinking it would come out the same. Try tomotillos, they're neither but good too.

[Anonymous No.6982026]

Hummus-stuffed roasted bell peppers are awesome. Just cut the peppers into quarters, smear hummus on that shit, pop into the oven for 10 minutes and top with something like crushed pita chips or diced chicken or whatever you like.

They make super good party favors if you aren't a friendless NEET.

[Anonymous No.6982033]

>>6982002
Point is you can get moisture from lots of things. Capsicum Dip does exist, and hot sauces are made from carrots.

[Anonymous No.6982263]

Just experiment, OP. Throw some in a pan or skillet with a bit of oil and your favorite raw meat, add whatever else you think will go good, cover, and set to low heat. Wait a while.

stuffed peppers all the way.
go with whichever recipe you like, though I do have some tips for you:
>before stuffing them, give them a slight roast on the outside (or you could grill them as well)
>adding chopped fresh dill to the mix works wonders
>serve with some cream on top

El Pato is just so versatile, good taste anon

Make some sofrito
Use it as a flavor base for paella or creamy pasta sauce, or a badass wine butter sauce

Brown some garlic, add diced spanish chorizo and diced onion, sweat that, then add siced peppers and tomatoes.
You can peel the peppers and tomatoes for a nicer finish, they often have a wax coating
Let it stew till the tomatos cook down. May need to add water or broth

[Anonymous No.6983576]

>>6983573
You could also make some chili

Forgot to add, on the sofrito, add cumin paprika and chili flake

[Anonymous No.6985252]

stuffed peppers are delicious actually.

[Anonymous No.6985344]

You should. A guy I used to work with told me about those, he used to win regional chili cookoffs using that regularly.

This thread was made because of peppers being cheap.

[Anonymous No.6987209]

so I'm new to using peppers in my cooking

how come you always peel peppers after roasting/grilling them but no one ever peels peppers before cooking them down into something like a chili?

I see the reason is the skin gets bitter when cooked, so that should be a problem whether you're roasting the peppers or if they're cooking for a few hours in a soup or stew

[Anonymous No.6987224]

>>6981459
Roast em over a grill or gas burner, then use them on sandwiches, with eggs, plain with some olive oil on bread, anyway really.

[Anonymous No.6987238]

Op here. I totally forgot I made this thread lol

Thanks for all the tips, will be trying most of them

[Anonymous No.6988019]

>>6981824
You could always add a little water.

[Anonymous No.6988035]

>>6987209
I've never heard of peeling peppers?
can anyone confirm this?

Even after roasting or grilling I've always left them intact. To be honest the concept of even doing that is foreign to me.

[Anonymous No.6988037]

Look up sambal recipes.
There are a lot of different variations to it.

Also if you're using bell pepper, a lot of sambal recipes say to add some sugar but I don't think bell peppers will need sugar.
But a lot of variations don't have sugar in it at all.

Pepper Smash cocktail:
In highball glass, muddle 5 slices of bell pepper & a few sprigs of mint
Add 2oz gin, 3/4 oz lemon juice, 3/4 oz maple syrup.
Shake with ice.
Double strain over old fashioned glass filled with ice. Garnish with bell pepper slice & mint leaf.

like I said, the only time I've heard you should peel peppers is after roasting them. most of the time no one will say why, but I've seen it said that the skin is bitter and they can sometimes be tough especially when they're well charred

after roasting the peppers people put them into an air tight container/put a bowl over them so they steam and the skin is easier to peel

I just looked it up in on food and cooking

>Some foods actually benefit from charring. Large sweet and hot chillis have a thick, tough cuticle or "skin" that is tedious to peel away. Because it's relatively dry compared to the underlying flesh, and made up in part of flammable waxes, it can be burned to a crisp before the flesh gets soft. Once burned, the skin can be scraped or rinsed off with ease.

but that again doesn't explain why

I just roasted a slightly immature poblano from my garden for supper (frost forced a harvest) and it was the most bitter (I think, I'm terrible at describing flavors) thing I've ever tasted. it smelled like popcorn, but it tasted like I was eating a handful of grass. it tasted just like a mild green pepper when raw, but it developed that awful flavor after roasting it

anyone know why?

Eat them raw with vegetable sauce (hummus, miso, etc) cut up into sticks.

I don't eat veggies at all, but I saw this and want to try it out now.
Is the pepper flavor overpowering?

Firstly, ignoring the fact that creativity abounds in poor ethnic cuisines (Italy), rice is not just for poor people. That's a dumb statement.
