Pepper Recipes

Pepper recipes are as abundant as there are types of peppers -- green, red, yellow, orange, purple, brown, and even white. What many chefs don’t realize, however, is that they are all the same fruit – a variation of capsicum plant. The different shades of color indicate the ripeness of the fruit and its harvesting conditions. Green peppers are the least ripe and they have a more bitter taste than their colorful cousins.

Many people avoid peppers, mistakenly believing all bell peppers have a hot, bitter taste. In truth, however, the longer the fruit ripens in the sun, the sweeter the taste. Peppers can be used in a wide variety of delicious recipes, including stuffed and stewed entrees or side dishes, and as a colorful accompaniment to other dishes such as salads or stir fry. Peppers recipes are also a healthy addition to most meals since they are high in vitamins C and A.

When cooking pepper recipes, choose the brightest, most colorful fruits for a stunning presentation. Fresh peppers in good condition should have smooth, firm skin without bruising or discoloration. Consider adding diced peppers to bland dishes for a surprising flavor. They also make excellent additions to salsa, shish kebobs, meat loaf, and soups. Ground up peppers can be added to many recipes to avoid the criticism of finicky eaters as well. To avoid overcooking the fruit, cut slices thin before grilling or sautéing – longer cooking may dull the color and reduce the visual impact of the fruit.

From salsas to salads to soups to stews, peppers recipes are tasty and healthy additions to many recipes and side dishes.
