Blistered Sweet Peppers Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over high heat and add the oil, peppers and salt. Cook, stirring and tossing often, until the peppers begin to brown and soften, about 10 minutes. Pour the peppers into a large bowl and toss with the parsley, olives and capers. Serve as a side dish.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, toss the peppers with the oil. Heat a large (12-inch) cast-iron skillet over high until a drop of water smokes on the surface, 2 to 3 minutes. (You may want to turn on your vent, too.)
• Add the peppers in a single layer and cook, without touching, until blistered underneath, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until blistered in spots, puffed, and tender, another 1 to 2 minutes. Season with flaky salt and serve right away.

Steps:

• For the steak: Place the steaks on a parchment-lined sheet pan. In a small bowl, mix the mustard powder, paprika, salt, chili powder and pepper. Sprinkle the mixture all over the steaks. Let sit at room temperature for 2 hours.
• Make the charred peppers: Heat a large braiser or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until searing hot. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss the baby bell sweet and shishito peppers with the olive oil, habaneros, chili powder, paprika, salt and pepper. Add the pepper mixture to the braiser and lower the heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until charred in spots and tender but still with some bite, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Make the vinaigrette: While the peppers are cooking, in a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, pickled peppers, vinegar, red pepper flakes, garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste. Once the charred pepper mixture is cooked, add them to the vinaigrette along with the quartered pickled peppers. Toss to coat well and set aside.
• Make the aioli: In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, pepper brine, cherry peppers, paprika, garlic and salt to taste. Place in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
• Cook the steaks: Preheat a grill pan or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the steaks on the grill pan or grill, flipping only once, for 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare or until an instant-read thermometer registers between 120 to 125 degrees F. Allow the meat to rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Slice the meat against the grain to ensure tenderness. Sprinkle with the basil, chives and thyme. Serve with the charred peppers and smoky oli.

Steps:

• If using bell peppers, peel with a vegetable peeler. Steam whole peppers for about 8 minutes, just until softened. Set aside until cool enough to handle, then remove stems and seeds, working gently to limit breakage. Cut peppers into large pieces and set aside to dry on paper towels. (Recipe can be made up to 8 hours in advance.)
• Just before serving, heat fat in a large skillet (not nonstick) over high heat. Add peppers and stir-fry until skins blister and brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a large serving dish and sprinkle with vinegar, salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings. If desired, sprinkle with coriander. Serve immediately or at room temperature, as an appetizer or side dish.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven broiler to high. Place the oven rack in its second highest position.
• Place the whole red and yellow peppers on their sides on a baking sheet and broil for 5 minutes on each side, leave about 3 inches between the flame and the top of the peppers. This will take about 20 minutes or so. The skins will be charred and he flesh of the peppers soft.
• Place the peppers in a glass bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let cool to room temperature for 20 minutes.
• Slice the cooled peppers lengthwise in half and remove and discard the skins, seeds, and ribs. Slice into 1/4 inch wide strips and set aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat and sweat the onions for 5 minutes, or until just soft and translucent. Add the garlic and saute for 2 minutes.
• Stir in the chile flakes and paprika, then add the roasted peppers strips, peppadews, bay leaf, rosemary, and thyme. Lower heat and cook at a low simmer for 20 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
• Stir in the red wine vinegar and capers and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove and discard the bay leaf, rosemary, and thyme. Stir in the salt.
• Transfer to a serving bowl and serve at room temperature.
