Roasted Peppers Onion And Mushrooms Recipes

Steps:

• Clean and cut all vegetables (remove stems from mushrooms) except garlic, into strips about 1/2-inch size. (this may seem like alot, but it cooks down).
• Using large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat.
• Add only onions first. Cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent. Lower heat to simmer and continue to cook for 15 minutes or until starting to get golden color.
• Raise heat to medium-high, add peppers and salt, Stir well into onions. Continue to cook until peppers JUST START to get soft.
• Add mushrooms, combining well.
• Add black pepper, garlic, and pepper flakes.
• Stir well. Lower heat to simmer. DO NOT COVER as this will poach vegetables.
• Continue to simmer until mushrooms give off their juices but are still firm. It is important NOT to overcook as they will cook again when reheated to be used.
• Remove skillet from heat. Stir.
• Allow to cool. Peppers and mushrooms should still have body to them.
• I like to bag portions in plastic sandwich bags, spread out so they are flat in bag. This makes for easy storage once they are frozen. I then place several bags into a freezer storage bag.
• I have kept this mix frozen for over a year without change in flavor.

Steps:

• Combine the vinegar, water, oil, sugar, onion, parsley, basil, garlic, salt, and pepper; bring to a boil. Stir in the mushrooms and red bell pepper; return mixture to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until the mushrooms are tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature. Transfer to a covered container and store in refrigerator at least 4 hours before serving.
