Roastedredpepperandparmesanbiscuits Recipes

Steps:

• Roast the red peppers and place them in a jar of olive oil (instructions here).
• Layer a few roasted red pepper slices on a slice of bread and sprinkle with coarse salt to taste.
• Top with second slice of bread and slice sandwich in half. Serve.

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Lightly coat the red peppers with olive oil. Grill peppers under the broiler until the skin is blackened, and the flesh has softened slightly. Place peppers in a paper bag or resealable plastic bag to cool for approximately 45 minutes.
• Remove the seeds and skin from the peppers (the skin should come off the peppers easily now). Cut peppers into small pieces.
• In a skillet, cook and stir the garlic, basil, and red peppers in 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Cook for 10 minutes, so that the flavors mix.
• Place mixture in blender (careful it is hot), and puree to desired consistency. Return puree to skillet, and reheat to a boil. Stir in the half-and-half and the Romano cheese; cook and stir until the cheese melts. Add the butter, and stir until melted. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450F degrees.
• Wash peppers and cut in half.
• Remove seeds and stems.
• Place upside down (skin side up) on a cookie sheet coated with olive oil spray.
• Bake for 10-15 minutes or so, until skin of pepper is seriously black.
• Make sure there are no sparks or actively burning ashes on the peppers and place peppers in a brown bag for about 10-15 minutes. This steams the peppers so the skins easily peel off. Rinsing peppers takes away all the roasted flavor, so don't let me catch you doing that.
• Let cool so you can touch them.
• Skin will peel off easily.
• Cut halves into strips, or however you need them to be cut.
• Now you know how to roast a red pepper!
• Good for: Chicken, cheese sauces, tomato sauces, topped on foccacia bread, or a million other things!
• You can also roast a pepper by placing it directly on the burner of a gas stove (NOT ELECTRIC!) turning with tongs every few minutes till skin is black. Continue with paper bag step.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• In a bowl, whisk together the flour, the baking powder, the salt, the cayenne and a pinch of black pepper.
• Add the butter and blend the mixture until it resembles a coarse meal.
• Add the roasted peppers, the Parmesan and the milk and stir the mixture until it just forms a dough.
• Drop the dough in 6 mounds about 2 inches apart onto buttered baking sheet and bake the biscuits in the middle of the oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until they are cooked through and slightly golden.

Drop the dough in 6 mounds about 2 inches apart onto a buttered baking sheet and bake the biscuits in the middle of a preheated 425°F. oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until they are golden and cooked through.

Steps:

• Sift the flour and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl.
• Beat the butter and sugar together in a stand mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 8 minutes. Add the Parmesan, thyme, zest, and 2 teaspoons pepper and continue mixing until evenly incorporated, about 2 more minutes. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture just to combine.
• Form into balls, small (1/4-ounce) or large (3/4-ounce), and place 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake until lightly golden on the bottoms, about 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Cook the pasta following pack instructions. Meanwhile, put the peppers, parsley, nuts, garlic and olive oil in a small food processor or mini chopper, and whizz to a pesto consistency. Season and mix in the Parmesan.
• Drain the pasta and return to the pan with the pesto. Stir and gently heat for 1 min, then sprinkle with a little more chopped parsley and serve.

Steps:

• Heat 3 Tbsp. oil in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium-high. Add breadcrumbs, half of the garlic, and ½ tsp. salt and cook, stirring constantly to incorporate the garlic, until golden brown and crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in parsley. Wipe out and reserve pot.
• Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, according to package directions. Drain, reserving 2 cups pasta cooking liquid.
• Heat 3 Tbsp. oil in reserved pot over medium-high. Cook onion, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until slightly softened, 6-8 minutes. Add roasted red peppers, remaining garlic, and 1 tsp. salt. Cook, stirring often, until any liquid is evaporated and vegetables are combined and glossy looking, about 5 minutes. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are coated and paste is slightly darkened in color, about 5 minutes.
• Add beans, lemon zest, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes to pot; season with black pepper. Cook, smashing beans and stirring to combine with spoon, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and gradually add reserved pasta cooking liquid (you might not need all of it), stirring and mashing as you go, until combined and sauce is thick. Remove from heat and immediately add pasta; toss to coat.
• Divide pasta among bowls; drizzle with a little oil and spoon breadcrumbs on top. Squeeze some lemon juice over if desired.

Steps:

• Place pepper over high heat on a gas burner. Just as each section turns puffy and black, turn he pepper with tongs to prevent overcooking. (If you don't have a gas stove, place the pepper on a baking pan, and broil in the oven, turning as each side becomes charred.) Transfer pepper to a paper towel and wrap in towel to enclose. Let the pepper sweat until cool enough to handle, about 5 minutes. Rub off and discard blackened skin. Cut pepper in half and remove and discard seeds. Cut pepper into 1-inch-wide strips.
• Place tortillas, one at a time, over medium heat on a gas burner. Cook until edges are beginning to blacken, about 30 seconds. Turn and cook until edges of second side begin to blacken, about 20 seconds more.
• Spread mayonnaise evenly over one tortilla. Top with pepper, and tomato. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange cheese over tomato. Cover with second tortilla. Cut into wedges, and serve immediately.
