Abundance of Green Peppers
I ended up with quite a few green bell peppers. Any ideas for dishes to use them? I hate to waste them.
We're not crazy about stuffed peppers, unfortunately.
Thanks for any ideas!

I made poor mans potatoes from the Moro cookbook the other day and it was very good.
I felt that it could've done with more green peppers and you could easily up it to 5 for this quantity of potatoes.›1 Reply -
Although it might be considered a "stuffed" pepper recipe - I really love the chinese dim sum dish with a shrimp mixture on top of a big slice of green pepper - topped with black bean sauce - YUM! I also do my own version at home - raw shrimp (whatever size - I prefer the ones that are about two bite size), diced green pepper (about 1/2") and then I stir fry the shrimp for a minute or two, add in the green pepper and fry for another minute or two - more to just heat the green pepper than cook it - the crunch is really nice, add in some black bean sauce and stir to coat - and then enjoy! Tastes very much like the dim sum dish without all the fuss.

Core them out, roast them and freeze them or chop them and freeze them into amounts you use for a dish. You can also puree' them with garlic and cilantro to make Recau, a carribian sauce and flavor base, you can freeze that too.

You put them over the flame until the skin is blackened, then put them in a plasic bag and seal (or a bowl and cover). The steam will help separate the skin. Then, when cool enough to handle, rub the skin off, take out the seeds and stem, and then put into a freezer bag.
To dry, you can chop them, put them on a cookie sheet on the lowest setting of your oven until dry, stir every now and then. Or use a food dehydrator. We have one, got it for making backpacking food. Don't use it much, but it wasn't too expensive, and it works well. I love drying sliced bananas and strawberries.
