Fried Pepper

Provided by Food Network

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/3 cup olive oil
6 large Italian frying peppers, stemmed and seeded, but left whole
Salt and pepper
Extra virgin olive oil, to taste
1 loaf Italian bread, 14 to 16 inches in length

Steps:

  • In a large, deep skillet set over moderate heat, heat the oil. Add the peppers and salt and pepper to taste, and fry, turning frequently, until the peppers are browned and soft. As the peppers soften, gently crush them into the oil with the back of a large spoon and continue to fry until they're very soft, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the peppers to a bowl and let them cool to room temperature. Season with additional salt and pepper and, if desired, drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil.

GRILLED PEPPERS WITH GARLIC YOGURT



Grilled Peppers with Garlic Yogurt image

This dish is very much in the Turkish spirit of mixing warm vegetables with cool, garlicky yogurt. Various types of peppers will work. This is a typical Turkish way to use grilled peppers. Turkish cuisine features cool, garlicky yogurt with warm vegetables. You can use a mix of peppers for this (in Turkey, longish, thin-skinned green peppers are the norm), and you don't have to stick to sweet peppers, though I prefer the sweet against the pungent yogurt. Roasted peppers will keep for a week in the refrigerator. They will continue to release liquid, which they can marinate in. Warm the peppers before serving, or serve them at room temperature with the topping.

WHOLE ROASTED PEPPERS WITH YOGURT AND FRESH TOMATO SAUCE



Whole Roasted Peppers with Yogurt and Fresh Tomato Sauce image

Bell peppers change in color as they ripen from olive, pale, and bright green to vivid yellow and red. The red ones are the ripest and sweetest. In Turkey they are roasted or deep-fried whole and served hot as a first course accompanied with yogurt or with a tomato sauce. There is no need to peel them. A long, pointed, piquant (but not hot) variety is also prepared in the same way.

Yield serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 fleshy bell peppers
2 cups plain whole-milk or thick Greek-style strained yogurt
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1-2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 pounds tomatoes, peeled and chopped
1 tablespoon sugar
Salt
A good pinch of ground chili pepper or flakes
2 tablespoons vinegar

Steps:

  • Put the bell peppers on a piece of foil on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated 350°F oven for 3/4-1 hour, until soft and browned in parts, turning them over once.
  • For the tomato sauce, heat the garlic in the oil, stirring for a few seconds only, until the aroma rises. Add the tomatoes, sugar, salt, and chili pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes, until reduced and thick. Add the vinegar towards the end. Serve the peppers whole. Do not peel them. Pass around the yogurt and the tomato sauce for people to help themselves.
  • Mix 1-2 crushed garlic cloves with the yogurt and add a little salt.
  • Small eggplants, one for each person, can be roasted whole at the same time and served with the peppers.

Fried Hot Pepper with Yogurt Sauce Recipe: A Culinary Fusion of Spice and Cooling

- To ensure a crispy and flavorful result, select fresh, firm hot peppers, preferably red or green in color. - Before frying, coat the peppers in a thin layer of cornstarch, then in a mixture of egg and milk, to create a crispy golden-outer layer. - Cooking oil temperature is key; heat the oil to a high temperature before adding the coated peppers to achieve a quick and even fry. - Keep an eye on the frying peppers, adjusting the heat as needed, to prevent them from scorching or becoming too dark. - Prepare the yogurt dipping before frying the peppers to ensure both components are ready at serving time. - Use fresh herbs like cilantro, parsley, or dill, for the yogurt topping to add a vibrant touch of color and enhance the flavors. - Serve the crispy-hot peppers immediately with the chilled yogurt to create a harmonious balance of spice and coolness. - Enhance the presentation by arranging the peppers aesthetically on a platter or plate, drizzling them with the yogurt, and garnishing with fresh herbs. - Customize the heat level by adjusting the type of hot peppers and the amount of yogurt to suit personal taste and spice-tolerance.
