Bell Pepper Ideas
Looking to use up those bell peppers? Here’s a batch of ideas for casual, throw-together dishes that show peppers off to their advantage:
Use them to create colorful and exciting meals by adding a mixture of different colored sliced or chopped peppers to your favorite salads, pastas, and Chinese or Mexican dishes.
They can be used as a colorful garnish.
Include sliced peppers on your next veggie tray.
Carve out peppers and stuff them with rice or use them as colorful containers for dips or other edible items.
Kebabs: String pieces of bell pepper on skewers with chunks of chicken and cherry tomatoes and grill them. Try them with chunks of zucchini and a yogurt-lemon marinade or with pineapple and a teriyaki glaze. Both peppers and zucchini benefit from a brief stint in the microwave before grilling, so they’re tender when the chicken is cooked.
Gazpacho: Blend tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, celantro, and lime juice with a dash of hot pepper sauce. Chill thoroughly.
Sandwiches: Sauté slices of onion and bell pepper and tuck them into rolls with grilled sausage.
