MY ROASTED PEPPERS

Several folks have asked me to post my Roasted Peppers Recipe.

The only thing I would like to mention is different brands of Sun Dried Tomatos can taste entirely different. Buy a brand that you would eat out of the jar, plain. That way, you know you are going to love the results in the peppers.

So here we go:

ROASTED PEPPERS

INGREDIENTS:

4 RED BELL PEPPERS
SOME SKIN FROM ROASTED PEPPERS
(ADDS A NUTTY FLAVOR)
3 CLOVES GARLIC
EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL
OIL FROM SUN DRIED TOMATOS
BALSAMIC VINEGAR
TOASTED PINE NUTS
(TOAST IN A FRYING PAN WITH OLIVE OIL)
SUN DRIED TOMATOS
(“FRIEDA” BRAND, PURCHASED AT GELSONS)
FRESH BASIL
ONION OR SHALLOTS
SALT
PEPPER

ROAST PEPPERS OVER OPEN FLAME UNTIL BLACK ALL OVER AND TENDER. PUT IN PAPER BAG FOR APPROX. 5 MINUTES. (THIS ALLOWS STEAM TO RELEASE SKIN AND THEY PEEL MUCH EASIER) PEEL PEPPERS AND REMOVE CORE AND SEEDS. ALSO REMOVE BITTER MEMBRANES INSIDE PEPPERS. SLICE PEPPERS INTO STRIPS.

COMBINE ALL OTHER INGREDIENTS WITH PEPPERS AND MARINATE OVER NIGHT, STIRRING OCCASIONALLY. THEY WILL LAST APPROX. 2 WEEKS IN REFRIGERATOR. (WE HAVE NEVER HAD THEM LAST THAT LONG....HEE HEE)
