Stuffed Peppers

We grow several types of peppers of One Love Farm. Some of the hot peppers (like cayenne and Anaheim) we use for our Chili Powder. But, we also grow a lot of sweet peppers.

Peppers can be used in so many ways besides slicing them in salads and sauteeing them for a stir fry.

You can use serve fresh sliced peppers with hummus or any other dip. You can stuff them with veggies and rice and roast them in the oven. You can use them in salsas and sauces. You can also put them on a skewer with veggie kabobs.

But, I think my favorite way to prepare peppers is to roast them on the grill. The top picture shows peppers being charred on my grill. Use any pepper you like, as long as it has a thick wall (cayennes don't do well because of their thin walls) and put it on a hot grill. After the skin is charred, but not the whole wall of the pepper, turn the pepper and char the whole pepper.

Take the pepper from the grill and run it under cold water and remove the charred skin. In the middle picture, you can see what the peppers look like after the skin has been removed. Next, I remove the stem and seeds from the pepper.

Then, I stuff the pepper with cheese or rice or veggies. In the last picture, I stuffed this pepper with some cheese and roasted eggplant, topped with with marinara and bread crumbs and cooked in the oven until hot.
