MARINATED ROASTED RED PEPPERS

Fresh, sweet taste, so much better than store-bought, and so easy! Use these marinated peppers as an antipasto, or a very healthy sandwich filling. Experiment with different herbs such as rosemary or Italian seasoning. My favorite is basil. Marinade also makes a wonderful salad dressing when the peppers have been eaten!

MARINATED MUSHROOMS WITH RED BELL PEPPERS



Marinated Mushrooms with Red Bell Peppers image

This is perfect for a buffet or as a football appetizer menu addition. I make these a couple of days ahead and store them in a glass jar. Even non-mushroom-eaters like this one. On occasion, I kick this up by adding 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes instead of the black pepper.

It's key that you let the marinated peppers steam in a covered bowl until cool. This will make them more tender and easier to peel.

Categories     Bell Pepper     Marinate     Garlic     Vinegar     Bon Appétit     Summer     Side     Vegetarian     Broil     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Dairy Free

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 red bell peppers
2 garlic cloves, very thinly sliced
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons (or more) sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped marjoram, divided
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Heat broiler. Place bell peppers on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil, turning occasionally, until skins are blackened and blistered all over, 14-17 minutes. Transfer peppers to a large bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and sweat 15 minutes.
  • Remove skins and seeds from peppers; discard. Tear peppers into about 2"-wide strips. Toss in a clean large bowl with garlic, oil, vinegar, and 1 Tbsp. marjoram; season with salt. Let sit at least 20 minutes and up to 4 hours.
  • Just before serving, taste peppers and season with more vinegar and/or salt if needed. Scatter remaining 1 Tbsp. marjoram over top.

Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers: Look for firm, ripe red bell peppers with smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid peppers that are soft, bruised, or have blemishes.
  • Prepare the peppers properly: Cut the peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and ribs. This will help the marinade penetrate the peppers more easily.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what gives the peppers their flavor, so make sure to use a combination of ingredients that you enjoy. Some popular options include olive oil, vinegar, herbs, spices, and citrus juice.
  • Let the peppers marinate for at least 30 minutes: The longer the peppers marinate, the more flavorful they will be. If you are short on time, you can marinate the peppers for as little as 15 minutes, but the flavor will not be as intense.
  • Cook the peppers to your desired doneness: You can grill, roast, or sauté the peppers. The cooking time will vary depending on the method you choose. Grilled peppers will have a slightly smoky flavor, while roasted peppers will be more tender. Sautéed peppers will be slightly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Conclusion:

Marinated red peppers are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, side dish, or main course. They are also a great way to add some extra flavor and color to your meals. With so many different recipes to choose from, you are sure to find a marinated red pepper recipe that you will love.
