Preparation

  • Peppers are vegetables that are low in calories and rich in water, vitamins, and minerals. They can be eaten both cooked and raw. They come in different types depending on shape and/or color based on ripening. Green peppers are harvested earlier, are less ripe, and have a more bitter taste. Yellow ones have an intermediate ripening, are more tender and juicy. Finally, red ones have a crunchy pulp and a strong flavor.
    Today’s recipe uses yellow peppers cooked in a skillet and seasoned with anchovies and breadcrumbs. In the attached video, I used red ones instead.
