2 tbsp sunflower oil
1 tsp nigella seeds

PEPPERS STUFFED WITH RICE, ZUCCHINI AND HERBS



Peppers Stuffed With Rice, Zucchini and Herbs image

I used a medium-grain rice that I buy at my local Iranian market for these peppers. The package says that the rice is great for stuffing vegetables because it doesn't swell too much, and it's right. It goes into the peppers uncooked and steams in the oven, inside the peppers (so it's important to cook them long enough and cover the baking dish). Make sure that you spoon the sauce left in the baking dish over the rice once the peppers are done. These are good hot or at room temperature. I like to use green peppers.

Categories     dinner, lunch, main course, side dish

Time 2h

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 medium peppers, preferably green
2 medium zucchini (about 3/4 pound), shredded
Salt to taste
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh mint
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill or parsley
1 scant cup uncooked medium grain rice
Freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons tomato paste dissolved in 2/3 cup water
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Steps:

  • Prepare the peppers. With a sharp paring knife, cut away the tops, then reach in and pull out the membranes and seeds.
  • Toss the shredded zucchini with salt and let drain in a colander for 20 minutes. Take up handfuls of zucchini and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Transfer to a medium bowl and add the garlic, mint, parsley or dill, and rice. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in 1/4 cup of the olive oil and let sit for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Oil a baking dish large enough to accommodate all of the peppers. Fill the peppers about 3/4 of the way full with the stuffing, and replace the caps. Place in the oiled baking dish. Mix together the tomato paste and water with the remaining olive oil and the lemon juice. Season to taste. Add to the baking dish. Cover the dish with foil. Place in the oven and bake 45 minutes to an hour, until the peppers are soft. Remove from the heat and allow to cool to room temperature, or serve hot. Remove the tops of the peppers and spoon the sauce in the baking dish over the rice before serving.

ZUCCHINI RELISH WITH SWEET PEPPERS



Zucchini Relish with Sweet Peppers image

This is better than the relish you buy in the store. I can't keep it on my shelf. I have the town asking for this relish. And I'm not a big fan of relish but I love this. Uses lots of zucchini for this time of year. Try it. You'll love it!

Categories     Side Dish     Sauces and Condiments Recipes     Relish Recipes

Time 10h45m

Yield 64

Number Of Ingredients 11

10 cups chopped zucchini
4 cups chopped onion
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
¼ cup kosher salt
4 cups white sugar
2 ½ cups cider vinegar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons celery seed
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
6 half pint canning jars with lids and rings

Steps:

  • Toss zucchini, onion, red bell pepper, and yellow bell pepper with kosher salt in a large bowl. Allow vegetables to rest for 8 hours; rinse and drain vegetables thoroughly.
  • Heat vegetables, sugar, cider vinegar, cornstarch, celery seed, and turmeric over medium heat until thickened, about 50 minutes.
  • Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the zucchini mixture into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
  • Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all).

MIXED SABZI



Mixed Sabzi image

Some English words have become part of Urdu names for dishes, as with this one, which is called mixed sabzi. Sabzi is the Urdu word for vegetables and the recipe calls for a mix of vegetables stir-fried and simply spiced for a quick weeknight main, or hefty side. Whatever's in season tends to taste best. In Pakistan, it is most often made with cauliflower, potatoes, peas and carrots. But, it is great with any vegetables really: eggplant, green beans, bell peppers, bitter gourd or pumpkin, too. For convenience, you can even use mixed frozen vegetables. Roti or cooked rice are ideal for serving alongside.

1 medium Yukon gold potato, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch cubes
1 carrot, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch cubes
1/2 cup fresh or frozen peas
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro

COURGETTE AND GREEN PEPPER 'SABZI' (TORI AUR HARI MIRCH KI SABZI



Courgette and Green Pepper 'sabzi' (Tori Aur Hari Mirch Ki Sabzi image

A nice side dish to Indian meals. The green pepper goes really well with the courgettes. You may think that a pepper of another colour would look nicer, but as I said, the two green vegetables work well together. I've made this twice so far and will make it again. You will get the asafetida from Indian stores, but I left it out when I cooked this the first time and it still turned out lovely. Recipe source is Maduhur Jaffrey's wonderful 'The Ultimate Curry Bible'.
