Roasted Bell Peppers And Cheese Recipes

Steps:

• Turn on the broiler in the oven. (For those of you in the UK, set the grill to highest setting) Put one shelf at the lowest level and the other shelf at the highest level.
• Cut off the top of the garlic bulb and discard. Put the bulb in a small ramekin, drizzle the 2 teaspoons olive oil over the top, and cover with foil. Place on the bottom shelf of the oven. Set the timer for 45 minutes.
• In the meantime, slice off the tops of the peppers, slice in half lengthwise and in half, lengthwise again, so that you have four long pieces of pepper. Lay flesh side down on a baking sheet.
• Place under the broiler/grill until the skins have turned bubbly and black, about 20-30 minutes. The blacker the skin is, the easier it will be to peel them.
• Remove the peppers to a brown paper bag(lunchbag type) or to a bowl covered with cling film, to steam for about 10 minutes.
• Check on the garlic. It should be soft enough for you to sqeeze the pulp out. If not, return to oven for another 5-10 minutes. Squeeze the pulp out into a medium bowl and set aside.
• Remove the peppers from the brown bag or bowl to a cutting board. Carefully peel the blackened skin from the peppers and discard.
• Put the peppers, basil, oregano and salt (and pine nuts, if using) into the bowl with the garlic. Using your fingers, gently mix together until well combined, adding more seasonings to suit your taste. Transfer mixture to jar.
• Pour olive oil over peppers until covered. Place lid on jar and leave to sit about 1-2 hours. Stir peppers and store in fridge for up to 3 weeks. If oil solidifies, remove from fridge 30 minutes prior to consuming.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Rinse out a large roasting pan and leave the moisture in the pan.
• Wash the peppers, leave the moisture on them and place in the roasting pan.
• Lower the oven to 325.
• Bake the peppers until soft, about 40-60 minutes. Green peppers take longer than red so just keep an eye on them.
• Turn them over once during the cooking process.
• All ovens run different - You want the skins to look puffy and a bit charred before you take them out.
• Place them in a large deep bowl and cover with plastic wrap.
• When cool, remove the peppers from the bowl.
• Strain the juice left over in the bowl and return it to the bowl.
• Remove the skins and seeds from the roasted peppers (do not rinse).
• Slice thinly and place back in the bowl with the juice.
• Add the remaining ingredients and mix well.
• Marinate in the fridge for at least 3 hours, overnight is best.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Put the oven on broil.
• Clean and slice the bell pepper into four quarters. Remove the seeds and white part.
• Brush with olive oil.
• Top each slice with 1/2 ounce of mozzarella cheese.
• Cook for 10-15 minutes or until cheese is browned and bubbly.

Steps:

• Slice the peppers open and reserve. Add the cheese to a shallow dish and sprinkle with the red pepper flakes, parsley, oregano, a little lemon zest, lemon juice and a liberal drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil. Toss to coat the cheese chunks in the marinade. Wrap each chunk in a roasted pepper and tie with twine to make a bundle.
• Heat grill pan or outdoor grill to medium, and grill the bundles until the peppers are evenly charred and cheese is browning at edges, about 8 to10 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and serve.

Steps:

• Heat a skillet over medium high heat. Add extra-virgin olive oil, crushed garlic and peppers. Season with salt and pepper. Saute until just tender, 6 or 7 minutes. Sprinkle in cheese and remove from heat. Transfer peppers to a platter. Garnish with chopped parsley. Cover with foil to keep warm until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Roast the peppers whole under a broiler, stovetop, or grill, turning occasionally until the skins blister and chars all over, about 7 to 8 minutes on each side. When pepper skin is black, place peppers in a paper grocery bag, and let steam to loosen the skins for about 15 minutes. Rip back the edges of the grocery bag and peel the blackened skin off the peppers right into the bag for easy clean up. Remove the seeds and tear each pepper into 6 sections. Put the peppers on a platter and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve with slices of Pecorino and fresh parsley.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
• Place the whole peppers on a sheet pan and place in the oven for 30 to 40 minutes, until the skins are completely wrinkled and the peppers are charred, turning them twice during roasting. Remove the pan from the oven and immediately cover it tightly with aluminum foil. Set aside for 30 minutes, or until the peppers are cool enough to handle.
• Meanwhile, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Remove the stem from each pepper and cut them in quarters. Remove the peels and seeds and place the peppers in a bowl along with any juices that have collected. Discard the stems, peels, and seeds. Pour the oil and vinegar mixture over the peppers. Stir in the capers. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to blend.
• To assemble the sandwiches, spread the bottom half of the loaf with the goat cheese. Add a layer of peppers and then a layer of basil leaves. Separate the onions into rings and spread out on top. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover with the top half of the ciabatta and cut into individual servings.

Steps:

• Set oven to 350 degrees.
• Butter a 11 x 7-inch baking dish (or you can use a 13 x 9-inch, but the casserole will be flatter).
• Heat butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add in the spinach; saute the spinach for about 4 minutes; remove to a bowl and set aside.
• To the same skillet (adding in more butter and/or oil if needed) add in the leeks and garlic; cook for about 6 minutes, or until soft; remove the skillet from the heat.
• In a bowl whisk together whipping cream and eggs, then add in ricotta cheese, Swiss cheese and Parmesan cheese, salt and cayenne pepper or black pepper, then add in the sauteed spinach, leek/garlic mixture and the sliced roasted peppers; mix well to combine.
• Transfer the mixture to prepared baking dish.
• Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
• Bake for about 50 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.
• Sprinkle with more roasted peppers on top if desired and serve.
• Delicious!
