What happens when the peppers you bought in excess start to go bad? You notice a little shriveling on the the outside, they are still crisp, but you know they won't last all week. Roast them! I am trying not to be wasteful, don't let all that extra food go bad.Shopping List:
- Peppers
- 1/4 cup of olive oil.
- 2 coarsely chopped garlic cloves
- 1/4 tsp of pepper
- Salt
Putting it Together:
- Slice the peppers and half and clean the insides riding it of seeds and spines.
- Crush the peppers with the palm of your hand so they lay flat.
- Put the peppers on a lined baking sheet and put under the broiler.
- After about 5 minutes you will start to smell them crisp up, check if they are starting to brown and blister on the top. Keep them under the broiler until they get pretty brown on top.
- Flip once so the skinless side gets little extra heat. About 2-3 minutes
- Turn back until the tops are nice and blistered. Even more so then the picture I have here.
- Put the roasted peppers in either a brown paper bag or plastic bag and cover for about 5-10 minutes until it is easy to handle.
- Peel off the skins and slice into thin pieces to your liking.
- Combine roasted peppers and remaining ingredients in a small tupperware and save for a salad, sandwich or other delicious meal.
- We just saved our peppers!
