Home Made Roasted Red Peppers
How to Roast Fresh Red Pepper for Recipes
Once you've tasted fresh roasted red pepper you will never settle for the jarred kind again. Roasting fresh red peppers is easy and adds a depth to the pepper flavor that can't be beat.
There are several methods that can be used for roasting fresh red peppers depending on what type of cooking appliance you have handy and what type of roasted pepper your recipe is calling for.
Roasted red pepper can also be enjoyed on it's own, in sandwiches, salads or added to an antipasto platter.
Roasting Red Peppers
You can roast fresh red peppers on the grill, over your gas cook top, or in the oven under the broiler and get similar results. All methods demand your complete attention and a watchful eye.Although this article is using red bell peppers as an example, you can roast any type of pepper (hot or sweet) the same way and obtain marvelous results.
As stated previously, roasting red peppers deepens the flavor and removes the pepper's skin, for some recipes that is enough. Other recipes call for a more traditional roasted red pepper that has been soaked in Olive oil and flavored with spices. Check your recipe to know which type of roasted red pepper is needed.
How to Roast Red Pepper on the Grill
How To Roast Red Pepper on the Grill
To roast red peppers on the grill, simply place a clean fresh red pepper directly on the grill top.
Turn your pepper frequently, as needed until the skin has turned completely black and starts to blister.
When the entire pepper skin has turned black, remove the pepper (or peppers) from the grill and place it into a bowl.
Cover the bowl with a lid or a dish to make it airtight. You can also use a paper or plastic bag for this step. The main thing is for the peppers to build up steam in an airtight container.
Let the roasted peppers rest in the bowl for 10 to 15 minutes.
Uncover, remove from the bowl (or bag) and the red pepper skin will slide off easily.
Cut the pepper in half to core and remove seeds.
Slice the red pepper into strips, or as described in your recipe.

Traditional Roasted Red Pepper Recipe
Roasted Red Pepper RecipeAfter following all the steps to roasting red peppers on the grill, over a gas cook top or in the oven under the broiler, slice your red pepper into strips and coat with Olive oil by placing them into a bowl and tossing with a small amount of Olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and minced garlic or garlic powder. (If desired)
Place the pepper strips onto a baking pan and broil under medium heat for about 20 minutes until they turn slightly brown. You can also do this on the grill. I recommend a sheet of aluminum foil under the peppers when grilling, to catch the juices and prevent flare ups.
Remove from the oven, or grill, and enjoy your peppers served hot, warm, or cold!

What to do with a basketful of luscious tomatoes? How to prepare an armload of summer squash? Where to turn for new sweet corn preparations? These are the questions vegetable-lovers grapple with as they pick fresh-from-the-garden produce in their own backyards or from the ever-expanding farmers markets. Garden-fresh vegetables are so beautiful, yet their freshness so fleeting.
The Garden-Fresh Vegetable Cookbook is sure to become a favorite for everyone who wants to enjoy their vegetables fresh, local, seasonal, and simple.
The Garden-Fresh Vegetable Cookbook
Amazon Price: (as of 07/06/2009)
Andrea Chesman is a cook and gardener who knows what its like to be staring down pounds of vegetables and panicking about how to use them all before its too late. Simple. Delicious. Planned to fit the season. Thats the approach Chesman brings to the 175 recipes shes developed for The Garden-Fresh Vegetable Cookbook.
The vegetables are organized seasonally by crop-readiness, with attention paid to combining vegetables that ripen together. All the favorites spring salad greens, asparagus, broccoli, carrots, peas, potatoes, and more are included, along with the more unusual artichokes, endive, rutabagas, and edamame, to name a few. Popular techniques such as roasting and grilling accentuate the flavor in recipes such as Grilled Chicken and Asparagus Salad, Soy- Sesame Grilled Eggplant, and Maple Roasted Carrots. There are many vegetarian options, but even when combined with meat, vegetables get top billing. From Egg Rolls to Borscht, Caponata to Sweet Potato Pie, The Garden-Fresh Vegetable Cookbook has dishes destined to please every palate.
To address those nights when the mounds of vegetables are just too overwhelming to try a whole new recipe, Chesman includes fourteen master recipes for simple preparation techniques that can accommodate whatever is in the vegetable basket. Readers need only to learn the basics of preparing a creamy quiche, a bubbly gratin, a basic stir-fry, or a zesty lo mein, and then its easy to create new meals every month around the freshest assortments of seasonal vegetables.
