OK, I have1 green, 4 yellow and 5 red peppers that need to be used up. I
have some garlic and onions. I also have a couple cups of cream. Here is
what I thought. Sweat the onions for a couple of mins in olice oil, add the
minced garlic and continue to cook for a min or so. Throw in the peppers..
I will dice some and leave some larger slices. Season with salt and pepper.
Add a splash of wine and reduce. Add the cream and reduce to a sauce. I
have a variety of pasta here so thought I would use this as a pasta sauce.
Topping the whole thing with whatever cheese suits my fancy at the time. I
have parmesan, romano, asiago and grana padano. Any other suggestions?

This sounds pretty great! What about roasting some of the peppers too?

Hi the

Use the recipe below with the peppers you have. Koko made it and it's just
WONDERFUL.

Dimitri

Three Pepper Sauté


appetizers, vegetarian


1 medium green bell pepper, seeded and; cut julienne
1 medium yellow bell pepper; cut julienne
1 medium red bell pepper; cut julienne
1 medium orange bell pepper, seeded and; cut into julienne
2 cloves fresh garlic clove, minced; or to taste
capers; to taste
1 15 oz-can black olives, pitted; drained
1 tablespoons olive oil; for sautéing


Sauté peppers in olive oil and garlic until starting to soften yet still "al
dente" try not to overcook.
Add capers and olives, at the end of cooking. serve on crusty toasted baguette
style bread.
Cut bread at an angle and rub with garlic clove after toasting.


This is good for pot-lucks and buffets as it is best served at room temperature.

Lose the sour cream. It doesn't belong in this dish. Make some sort of salad
dressing out of it instead.

This is sweet 35% cream not sour cream.

Thanks for the recipe Dimitri. It sounds wonderful. I have saved it for
future use. I don't think it will fit tonight's needs however.

Oops. I read too fast. Never mind. :-) I'd add some fresh tarragon or
basil, but not the dried version of either one. A touch of white pepper,
too.

Careful - what kind of wine? If it's red you're going to have a PINK sauce
after adding the cream.

Good idea.. I will switch out the black pepper for the white. I'm not sure
any of the herbs I bought at my last shop can still be considered fresh, but
I will check them out. Thanks!

Your idea sounds good. I often buy the same mix of peppers, slice them, add
a little onion and garlic, season and sauté along with something like
Steak-Ums and put everything on a steak roll. Makes a tasty lunch.

Sounds good to me! Another time, you could roast those peppers and make
soup.

I have done similar using thin sliced left over roast beef or steak. We
used to be able to get steakums in this neck of the universe, but they have
bene absent now for years.

Mushrooms would be good in the saute, if you have them. I might put a
little flour in and cook a minute before reducing with the wine. And
I'd roast some of the peppers, as someone else suggested.

When I have an overabundance of peppers, I sometimes stuff them with
rice. I like this recipe:

STUFFED PEPPERS
Source: _1000 Classic Recipes_ (Hermes House, 1997)
Serves 6

6 (bell) peppers, any color
generous 1 cup rice
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
3 anchovy fillets, chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
3 tomatoes, peeled and diced
4 tablespoons white wine
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
scant 1/2 cup mozzarella
6 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
salt and ground black pepper

Cut the tops off the peppers. Scoop out the seeds and the fibrous
insides.
Blanch the peppers in a large saucepan of boiling water for 3-4
minutes.
Remove, and stand upside down on wire racks to drain.

Boil the rice according to package directions, but drain and rinse in
cold
water 3 minutes before recommended cooking time has elapsed. Drain
again.

Saute the onion in the oil until soft. Mash in the anchovies and
garlic. Add
the tomatoes and wine; cook for 5 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 375 F. Remove the tomato mixture from the heat.
Stir in
the rice, parsley, mozzarella, and 4 tablespoons of the Parmesan.
Season to
taste with salt and pepper.

Pat the insides of the peppers dry with paper towels. Sprinkle with
salt and
pepper. Stuff the peppers. Sprinkle the tops with the remaining
Parmesan and
a little oil. Arrnage the peppers in a shallow baking dish. Pour in
enough
water to come 1/2 inch up the sides of the peppers. Bake 25 minutes.
Serve
immediately.

Pat

I use to make a sauce similar to yours with peppers. But I don't put wine
(cream and wine don't agree in this dish, IMHO). Here what I do
I roast peppers on BBQ or in the oven and then I take away the skin. Then I
cut the peppers in stripes; put the stripes in a frying pan with onions, few
oil, salt and cook for some minutes. Then I put the cooked peppers in the
food processor an I mix them with cream. Then I put again the sauce in the
frying pan and I add parsley (or tyme), white pepper and other salt if need.
With this sauce I season pasta. Very good.
I generally use yellow pepper.
Cheers
Pandora

To be honest, the combo of peppers and cream does not fly, at least for me.

Personally, I'd forget the cream in that and use it to make caramels.
But that's just me.
