Answer 2

Add them in a salad or make stuffed peppers:

Get hamburger meat and cook until brown with chopped mushrooms, diced onions, and diced tomatoes .. add any herbs you like ... make a hole in the bottom of the peppers and take out the seeds on the inside... stuff the peppers with the stuffing mixture and bake on a tray for about 7-10 minutes or until the peppers are "blistered" or "soft-skinned"..

Answer 4

Yellow peppers can be used in a variety of ways if they are the long "banana style" they can be used in any stir fry or salad as well as roasted and stuffed then dipped in egg and fried for yummy relleno. The smaller jalapeno type they are type best used in salsa or hot pepper jelly. Good Luck!

Answer 5

They are great in a salad, or on a pizza, or my favorite, just open mouth and insert pepper. They have a similar, yet lighter taste than the green ones. Also a bit sweeter flavor.

Answer 6

They can be used any way a green or red pepper can be used. The taste is similar but a bit milder.

Answer 7

You can make stuffed peppers, add them to an Italian pasta dish, use them in fajitas, there's a lot you can do. As mentioned you can used them anyway you'd use a green bell pepper.

Answer 8

You could put them chopped into a tossed salad, or you may also cut them in stripes and dip into your favourite dip. If making Chile Con Carne you can cut into small pieces and cook with the other ingredients. Hope this helped you.

Answer 9

mmm, you can put them in a salad! or put them in a red pasta sauce, or eat them raw w/ dip, or add them to some pesto sauce for pasta w/ onions & garlic. stuff them w/ chorizo ... there's a lot you can do that's not "special."
