Best 10 Melted Red Peppers And Garlic Recipes

MELTED RED PEPPERS AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Stem and seed the peppers and cut them into thick strips, about 3/4-inch wide.
• In a wide skillet, combine the garlic and olive oil over low heat until the oil begins to bubble. A few handfuls at a time, add the peppers and turn to coat with the oil. When all the peppers are in the pan, add the thyme and vinegar and adjust the heat to a low simmer. Sprinkle with salt.
• Cook until the peppers are soft and sweet and garlic has almost dissolved, about 45 minutes, shaking the pan and stirring gently every 10 minutes. Don't stir too often or the peppers will begin to break down.
• When the peppers are cooked, use tongs to lift them out of the pan and into jars. Strain the oil and divide between jars. Top off with extra olive oil.
• Store in the refrigerator for up to two months. Serve on toasts, with cheese or cured meats, or add to frittatas or pasta sauce.

ROASTED RED PEPPERS WITH GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Toss peppers with 1/4 cup olive oil in bowl. Transfer peppers to large rimmed baking sheet. Roast peppers until partially charred, turning every 10 minutes, about 50 minutes.
• Transfer peppers to reserved bowl; cover tightly with plastic wrap. Cool 15 minutes. Peel and seed peppers over bowl. Tear each pepper lengthwise into 6 strips. Transfer pepper strips to heavy large skillet. Strain liquid from bowl into skillet. Add garlic, vinegar, and 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil to skillet. Simmer over medium heat until liquid becomes syrupy, stirring frequently, about 25 minutes. Cool. (Can be made 4 hours ahead. Cover; let stand at room temperature.)
• Transfer pepper mixture to platter. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

MELTED-PEPPER SPREAD

Steps:

• Slice the onions thinly, into 1/8-inch half-moons. (A food processor is great here, and you can reuse it for the peppers later.)
• Heat the oil in a large, tall-sided skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onions and 2 big pinches of salt. Stir every couple of minutes so they become soft without getting too much color (browning in spots is fine), about 10 minutes total.
• Meanwhile, stem, seed and slice the peppers into 1/8-inch strips.
• When the onions are ready, add the peppers and garlic and another 2 big pinches of salt, and stir until the juices collect in the bottom of the pan, then let it cook. After about 10 minutes, the juices may have cooked off, so keep a closer eye on the pan, and stir more frequently so it doesn't burn.
• After 5 minutes or so, or when the sound has turned from a steamy bubble to a more crackling sizzle, you'll want to stir about 30 seconds to a minute, to pick up any bits that have caramelized, and dissolve them back in.
• After another 5 minutes, or when the peppers are very soft and spreadable and everything smells fantastic and sweet, add the thyme and vinegar and cook, stirring, for 1 more minute. Taste, and add more salt or vinegar if desired. Remove the peppers from the heat, and let cool. Store, refrigerated, for up to 2 weeks. It tastes best at room temperature or warm.

ROASTED PEPPERS WITH GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• Quarter bell peppers lengthwise and discard stems, seeds, and ribs. Arrange peppers, skin sides up, on rack of a broiler pan and broil about 2 inches from heat until skins are blistered, 8 to 12 minutes. (Alternatively, lay whole peppers on their sides on racks of burners of a gas stove and turn flames on high. Char peppers, turning them with tongs, until skins are blackened, 5 to 8 minutes.)
• Transfer roasted peppers to a bowl and let stand, covered, until cool enough to handle. Peel peppers and cut each quarter lengthwise into 2 or 3 strips. Thinly slice garlic and in a bowl toss with peppers, oil, and salt to taste. Marinate peppers, covered and chilled, at least 3 hours and up to 3 days.
