What can I do with...sweet peppers?



Recommended Posts

An update: I roasted some and used them as a base for tuna salad with cheese for lunch. I broiled a steak for dinner and added some peppers to the pan to roast at the same time.

Thanks for the ideas. Keep them coming!

personally im a big fan of Breakfast ideas. a quick par boil , then prepare turkey sausage meat, to about 1/2 way done with 1/2 onion diced , mushrooms if you like em, and then here's the fun part, use any spice you like, take it south of the border with some cilantro cumin and chili powder, or go Asian with some lite soy sauce and some Sriracha, or even some small cubed tofu, go Italian with some oregano fresh basil and a little parmesan cheese. Basically stuff the peppers 3/4 way, then bake at 365 for 1/2 hour. here's the second fun part ,. top with and then you can top with a fried egg or some scrambled egg then, pepper jack or the like, for Mexican, mozzarella for Italian, something sharp for Asian etc,

Breakfast stuffed peppers, although pack it in the amount you would eat, as i know we all hate wasting but they make great leftovers.

Now if you don't want to bother with the stuffing part just slice up he peppers, mix em with the sausage onion , mushrooms, spices mixture then plop that fried egg of top or scrambled on top add cheese and bingo!

My hubby loves this easy crockpot recipe from The Recipe Critic. Com for Stuffed Peppers . 15 min or less prep time,uses uncooked burger, uncle bens quick rice, etc , pop them in the crockpot on low, just check them an hour before the time it says to cook them as some crockpot s cook hotter than others . Enjoy !

i put equal parts sweet(or hot)peppers and onions in the food processor(do each alone) grind until fairly fine, add salt and ground cumin and store in the frig as a raw relish. mix into chicken or tuna salad, a spoonful on eggs, mix with greek yogurt as a dip for veggies. will keep several weeks in a glass jar in the frig.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery

My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
