Bell Pepper Recipes
Roasted Red Bell Peppers
1. Wash the pepper. (Do not core or cut open.)
2. Light the flame of the gas range and place pepper on the burner.
3. Turning pepper occasionally, let the pepper skin become blackened and
blistery and papery, even. (Metal tongs are best.) Try not to puncture the
pepper while turning.
4. When the red skin is fully blackened and papery-blister, remove from heat
and quickly put pepper in a plastic bag and toss it in the freezer for a few
minutes (just to help it cool off some).
5. Remove from freezer and run under cold water while using your fingers
gently rub and rinse away the burnt skin.
6. Open pepper along one of its lengthwise seams (this may just happen as
you're rinsing)
7. Rinse away seeds and pull away or cut away the stem-top.
1. Lay out the nicely cooked pepper flat and slice in sections based on where
the pepper's "seams" are. 2.Scoop a couple tablespoons of chevre across the
mid-section of each piece of pepper.
3. Sprinkly with fresh ground pepper, salt, dry herbs such as basil, marjoram,
parsley (whatever you like to herb your cheese with).
4. Then tri-fold (or roll) the pepper over the herbed cheese. 5. Using a sprig of
something sturdy like rosemary, skewer the little rolls so they stay rolle-up.
