Pollo con i Peperoni alla Romana, in Italian Language, is at least as Roman as the Fontana di Trevi and the Colosseum. There are those who cook peppers separately by adding them to the chicken later and those who, like us, cook them directly together with the chicken. Whatever you choose...

There are several versions of eggs cooked in spicy tomato sauce around the world. For example: Italian 'Eggs in Purgatory', Mexican 'Ranch Eggs (Huavos Ranchos)' and Middle Eastern 'Shakshuka'. In this version, tangy and savoury green olives work perfectly with the hot spicy sauce and silky...

My wife grows chillies in her greenhouses and out the back as well. Every year I make a batch of hot chilly sauce, I make when red capsicums are cheap. I used 18 in this, char grilled under the grill/ broiler. Then in a pot with about 300 chillies of all different sizes, see pic. I add the...

Friggitelli, or friarelli peppers, are a variety of little long peppers with a green colour and a sweet taste typical of central-southern Italy. In Naples they are also called ‘puparuoli friarelli’. In other parts of Italy, they are simply called frying sweet peppers. Friggitelli, the name...

Like most Italian Americans, I love Italian sausage, peppers and onions. My favorite way to make it, just happens to be kebabs over charcoal and wood. No real recipe. Italian sausage (hot or sweet, your choice). Bell peppers. Onions. I skewer everything and drizzle with olive oil, and season...

I debated on whether to use an Indian or a Mexican spice profile for this stuffed pepper recipe. If I try lentils in some shape or form in the future instead of black beans, I think I'll go Indian. Black beans surely say "Mexican" or "Tex-Mex" as the profile flavor. Onions and garlic also...

We have used this in the past as a sauce for fajitas, mushroom and beef, but I'm sure it would be good on a bunch of other dishes as well. 2 red bell peppers, roasted, peeled, seeded, and coarsely chopped 3 tblsp chopped red onion 2 tsp chiptole puree (whole peppers in adobo in can and chop...

This meat free pizza makes the most of Mediterranean flavours and is topped with a luxurious Italian cheese. Taleggio is a washed rind cheese with a soft and gently wine flavoured taste. Its a perfect cheese for melting and has a stronger flavour than Mozzarella. Cooked spinach works really well...

This soup really needs fresh sweetcorn off the cob, and plenty of it, perhaps much more than the 6 ears of corn suggested. We had to make it with frozen sweetcorn and the difference was very obvious and disappointing. 1 ear of corn yields roughly 100g of sweetcorn if you do need to use frozen...

We use Paul Prudhomme's method with high heat to make a roux. You MUST attend the roux at all times. Do NOT walk away from it. Be CAREFUL, roux has been compared to napalm due to the burns it can cause. This gumbo can be made vegan (or for Lent) by using all vegetable stock and omitting the...
