How to CLEAN the peppers?
Cut the pepper in half, then remove the green central stem. Then divide it into slices and remove the internal white filaments with all the seeds. Wash well and quickly.
COOKING TIME
– in the microwave (at maximum power): 3 to 5 minutes, use the steamer or place the slices of pepper on a plate with two tablespoons of water, cover with the appropriate dome
– steamed and with basket in the pressure cooker (from the whistle): 4 to 6 minutes
– in the steamer: cook for 12 to 15 minutes
– in boiling water: cook for 10 to 12 minutes.
REMOVE THE SKIN, once the pepper slices are boiled, they can be peeled very easily, taking care to do this step as soon as possible (while they are still hot). Your peppers will thus be very digestible and appetizing.
How to SEASON?
In SWEET AND SOUR: prepare the marinade in a cup with salt, sugar, and vinegar (apple, white wine, or balsamic), mix to dissolve everything and then add the oil. If desired, integrate with garlic slices and oregano (or thyme). Dress the peeled peppers with this emulsion and let them marinate for a few hours in the refrigerator before serving cold.
FLAVORFUL: cut into strips and season with capers, basil (or marjoram, mint, parsley), salt, and oil.
With FISH: season with anchovy fillets, lemon juice, and oil. Add some aromatic herbs to taste.
