(bell) peppers/capsicum

Strawberries and tomatoes share many flavour compounds including what is known as the strawberry furanone. To my mind they each hit slightly different notes of sweetness combined with acidity. Balsamic vinegar works well with both and the mellow sweetness of silky roasted peppers softens their...

This is from Chef Hubert Keller, a Frenchman by birth and cooking style. ETA: This was the best ratatouille I've ever had. INGREDIENTS 3 Tbsp EVOO 1/2 cup diced onion 1/4 cup seeded and diced red bell pepper 1 large tomato, blanched, peeled, seeded and diced 1 tsp finely minced garlic 1/2...

You could make this vegetarian/vegan by substituting olives, a mix of black and green, for the anchovies. Finely chop them and just warm in the oil at the stage you would cook in the anchovies, then proceed with remainder of recipe. The vegetables are cooked separately so the individual...

This is one of my favourite kabob recipes. They are best grilled, but you can make them on a grill pan indoors (although this can be tricky - make sure your skewers aren’t too long to fit in the pan)! This recipe is from The Looneyspoons Collection by Janet & Greta Podleski. Ingredients...

I had some Celery in the crisper drawer, calling to be used. I'm not the biggest fan of cooked Celery, but if it's in something, like this riff on medtran49 recipe, I'm good. And I'm always looking for ways to bulk up the veg-component, the more the merrier! I would also like to add that there...

The ingredient quantities in this are very flexible. It can easily be scaled up or down as needed. If you've only 2 courgettes and 2 aubergine, no problem. It will still work quite happily. You'll see sugar in the list of ingredients. I often use it in tomato dishes as a seasoning, exactly in...

This is a dish that my Mother made often when I was growing up. It's cheap & family friendly. I hadn't had this in many, many, MANY years and I can't really say what made it come to mind, but this is delicious! It's a simple recipe and is highly customizable. I used bulk Pork Breakfast Sausage...

So with no electricity today, I've had to be more creative than usual and our evening meal is currently on the BBQ. Yep, I had to clean it first, I had to remove quite a bit of insect life that I didn't need to cook (they didn't get any further than my helpers) and no second chances if you...

I aim for a Middle Eastern taste profile here. The lamb came from a local farmer. Labne is a Middle-Eastern / Persian dairy product very similar to yogurt (it has cultures, and probably listens to Mozart when it can). I find this at a Persian market in the Connecticut River valley. It...

A pleasantly tasty dish. You can use any type of pepper – you will need to adjust the amount of stuffing depending on the size of pepper you plan to stuff. Cubanos aren’t large. So, for larger peppers, double or even triple the stuffing portion of this recipe. Or – hey – extra stuffing can...

I made this recipe originally to sell at our Community's Craft & Bake Sale this past March. It did very well, I sold out and have recently been commissioned to make another entire batch for a gal in our neighborhood. Hot Pepper Jelly Ingredients: 1 ½ C. Red Bell Pepper, seeded and finely...

This recipe combines the classic flavors of a Philly cheesesteak sandwich with a Tex-Mex style breakfast burrito. I minced tender strip loin steak that had previously been marinated with soy, minced garlic, and pepper then grilled, along with sauteed jalapeño peppers, red, orange and yellow...

Pork Guisantes or Pork and Peas is a Filipino dish, very popular in Hawaii, and I love it. I've modify the authentic recipe just a touch. I used 2 boneless-skinless Pork Loin Chops that I can readily get at the large warehouse store, but you use whatever cut of Pork you prefer to equal about a...
