Answer 1

SPICY RED-PEPPER AND EGGPLANT CONFIT
This Mediterranean dish can be served with bread or crackers as a meze (appetizer), and it's also great as a sandwich filling.

2 lb red bell peppers, tender-roasted
1 (1 1/2-lb) eggplant, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
4 large garlic cloves, smashed
1 (28-oz) can whole tomatoes in juice, drained and coarsely chopped
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried hot red-pepper flakes



Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 400°F.

Cut peppers into 1-inch pieces. Toss together all ingredients in a large roasting pan, then spread evenly. Roast, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are very tender, about 1 hour. Cool before serving.

Cooks' note:
Confit can be made 1 week ahead and chilled, covered. Bring to room temperature and stir before serving.

Makes about 3 cups.

Answer 2

Which red pepper? You mean red bell peppers? A lot of people call red peppers, cayenne, or bell peppers, red peppers. The correct name for red peppers is Red Bell Peppers, okay? Here is my recipe for stuffed bell peppers, you can make them all red, if you like.

Most people stuff bell peppers with a rice mixture, of basically rice and herbs. I don't care for rice much, so I stuff mine with other veges, and different meats.

One Nice Recipe

8 bell peppers, 2 yellow, 2 green, 2 red, 2 orange (or any other color you like, purple), the tops cut off, deseeded, and deveined
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut in chunks
1/2 a medium onion, diced
small penne pasta, or any other small pasta you like, macaroni is great, about a cup
1 8 oz can tomato sauce
2 cloves of garlic, chopped, or minced
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried basil
16 thin slices of mozzarella cheese, or any other kind you like, cheddar, gouda, American..
salt and pepper to taste

Cook the chicken in a little olive oil, until it turns white
add your onions, garic, herbs, and spices, saute for about a minute, add your tomato sauce, and cooked pasta.
You may add a 1/4 cup of red wine, if you wish for added flavor.
Stir until thickened, turn off the heat. Let stand 1 minute or 2

Set your bell peppers on a cookie sheet. You may need to slice a tiny sliver of the bottoms so the bell peppers will stand up, making a flat surface.
Lay a slice of the cheese you want to use on the inside bottom of each bell pepper.
Fill each pepper with your stuffing, over-stuffing it is ok, since your stuffing will still be warm.
Bake in a 400 degree oven 15 to 20 minutes.
Add the other 8 layers of cheese to the tops, (if you used 2 or more different cheeses you can mix them up randomly, putting the bottom cheese cheddar, the top mozzarela, etc) and put the tops of the bell peppers over the cheese slices at a slight slant , you can multi-color them if you like, putting the red top over the green pepper, the yellow over the red, etc.
Its ok if the sauce bubbles over, it will look pretty with the gooey melting cheese running over.
If you want to make the bell pepper look like people, for a silly fun dish, you can decorate a side of the pepper by putting in whole cloves for eyes, a mouth and nose at the end of cooking. Optional, of course. Also, you can add any kind of cooked meat to the dish, other than chicken, beef, pork etc.
Have fun with this dish! Its wonderful!

Answer 3

roasting them is always a good idea... char them over open flame (grill or gas burner) until charred/burnt all over, then throw them in a paper bag to "steam" for 10 minutes. then take a paper towel and just "rub" the skin right off and you are left with the very tender insides of the pepper, with some smokey flavor added. you can do many, MANY things with roasted red peppers.

otherwise, cut raw red peppers into big chunks and "marinate" them in olive oil, salt, and pepper and grill those big chunks up for a great side to any grilled item.
