ROASTED BELL PEPPERS



Roasted Bell Peppers image

I made these a few years ago and they were a hit. Great on crackers with cheese or on sandwiches...anyway you want to eat them. You will need a wide-mouth jar to store them such as an old Mason jar. The jar size is determined by how many peppers you actually use. I don't measure anything when making these so I just gave measurements for the purpose of this recipe. You can adjust to your own liking.

Categories     Spreads

Time 1h30m

Yield 2 Cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 sweet peppers (Roma or bell, any color)
1 whole bulb of garlic
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried basil (or 4-5 leaves of fresh)
1 teaspoon oregano (or 2 sprigs of fresh)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon pine nuts (optional)
1/2 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Turn on the broiler in the oven. (For those of you in the UK, set the grill to highest setting) Put one shelf at the lowest level and the other shelf at the highest level.
  • Cut off the top of the garlic bulb and discard. Put the bulb in a small ramekin, drizzle the 2 teaspoons olive oil over the top, and cover with foil. Place on the bottom shelf of the oven. Set the timer for 45 minutes.
  • In the meantime, slice off the tops of the peppers, slice in half lengthwise and in half, lengthwise again, so that you have four long pieces of pepper. Lay flesh side down on a baking sheet.
  • Place under the broiler/grill until the skins have turned bubbly and black, about 20-30 minutes. The blacker the skin is, the easier it will be to peel them.
  • Remove the peppers to a brown paper bag(lunchbag type) or to a bowl covered with cling film, to steam for about 10 minutes.
  • Check on the garlic. It should be soft enough for you to sqeeze the pulp out. If not, return to oven for another 5-10 minutes. Squeeze the pulp out into a medium bowl and set aside.
  • Remove the peppers from the brown bag or bowl to a cutting board. Carefully peel the blackened skin from the peppers and discard.
  • Put the peppers, basil, oregano and salt (and pine nuts, if using) into the bowl with the garlic. Using your fingers, gently mix together until well combined, adding more seasonings to suit your taste. Transfer mixture to jar.
  • Pour olive oil over peppers until covered. Place lid on jar and leave to sit about 1-2 hours. Stir peppers and store in fridge for up to 3 weeks. If oil solidifies, remove from fridge 30 minutes prior to consuming.
  • Enjoy!

ROASTED OR GRILLED PEPPERS



Roasted or Grilled Peppers image

Roasting or grilling sweet peppers makes them even sweeter, with another layer of flavor from the charred skin that is removed. You can grill them under a broiler, over a burner flame, or over coals, or you can roast them in the oven. Oven-roasting is the easiest method if you're roasting more than one or two peppers. It yields more juice than grilling. Keep these on hand, serve them as they are or add to salads, pasta, pizza and panini.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Time 1h45m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 medium red, green, or yellow bell peppers
Sea salt (fine or coarse) or kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 or 2 garlic cloves, minced or pressed
Slivered fresh basil leaves or chopped fresh tarragon, chervil or marjoram
1 teaspoon balsamic or sherry vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Line a baking sheet with foil. Place the peppers on the foil and bake in the oven for 30 to 40 minutes, using tongs to turn the peppers every 10 minutes. The peppers are done when their skin is brown and puffed. It won't be black the way it is when you grill them.
  • Transfer the peppers to a bowl. Cover the bowl with a plate or with plastic, and let sit for 30 minutes, until cool.
  • Carefully remove the skins, then, holding the peppers over the bowl so no juice escapes, separate into halves or quarters and remove the stems, seeds and membranes Cut into strips if desired, and place in another bowl. Strain in the juice. If storing for more than a day, toss with 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil. Refrigerate until ready to use. If you wish, toss with the optional ingredients shortly before serving.
  • Using a Burner: Light a gas burner and place the pepper directly over the flame. As soon as one section has blackened, turn the pepper, using tongs, to expose another section to the flame. Continue to turn until the entire pepper is blackened. Place in a plastic bag and seal, or place in a bowl and cover tightly. Allow to sit until cool, then remove the charred skin. You may need to run the pepper briefly under the faucet to rinse off the final bits of charred skin. If so, pat dry with paper towels. Cut the pepper in half, holding it over a bowl, remove the seeds and membranes, and store as instructed above.
  • Using the broiler: Preheat the broiler. Cover a baking sheet with foil. Place the baking sheet under the broiler at the highest setting. Turn the peppers every 3 minutes or so, until uniformly charred. Proceed as above. Using a grill: Place on a grill directly over hot coals and turn as each side becomes charred and blackened. When the entire pepper is charred, remove from the grill and proceed as above.
