What to do with pepper. How to make bell peppers a hit on the winter table. Bell peppers stuffed with cabbage for the winter - video recipe

The main sweet pepper season begins in August and lasts until mid-autumn. It is at this time that its fruits are most full of vital juices and strength. Of course, you need to take advantage of this!

If you are not a fan of lengthy culinary processes, you can do it simpler: cut off a slice of sweet pepper and crunch it to your advantage and for your pleasure - pepper is very tasty even in its raw form. But we are pursuing other goals, namely: learning to cook incredibly tasty dishes from sweet peppers. And first, let's find out who pepper loves?

In principle, pepper is not picky and goes well with almost all vegetables. But he especially loves tomatoes. Adjika, lecho, stew, salads, all kinds of side dishes and snacks, as well as other equally tasty dishes are the result of the union of this couple.
In addition to tomatoes and other vegetables, peppers will be good in combination with rice, cheese, olives, meat, fish, and leafy salads. The scope of use of pepper is also wide: appetizers, salads, first and second courses.

Culinarily, pepper is not difficult to handle. Before processing, you need to remove the stalk and seeds. To do this, the base of the stalk is carefully trimmed and pulled out along with the seed part. The peppers are then rinsed to remove any remaining seeds and dust. To prepare hot dishes, take large, slightly unripe fruits of light green, dark green or yellowish color, and for salads, take ripe fruits of bright yellow and red color. If you are going to stuff peppers, it is better to first pour hot water over the pepper (without seeds) and boil for 1 minute. That's all the wisdom.

You can prepare many delicious, aromatic dishes from bell peppers. This vegetable is self-sufficient and will be good stewed in its own juice, even without other ingredients. Or you can add pepper to it, make an incredibly tender spaghetti paste from it, and bake it in a slow cooker. The most delicious pepper dishes are made in the summer season, when fresh vegetables boast a special taste and aroma.

Ingredients:

  • meat - 0.5 kg;
  • white cabbage - 0.3 kg;
  • bell pepper - 1 pc.;
  • tomatoes - 2 pcs.;
  • carrots - 1 pc.;
  • onions - 1 pc.;
  • potatoes - 3 pcs.;
  • sugar - 1 tbsp;
  • tomato paste - 3 tbsp;
  • garlic - 2-3 cloves;
  • lemon acid;
  • salt;
  • greenery;
  • pepper and other spices.

If you use not just meat in the soup, but meat on the bone, the taste of the finished dish will be richer. As a rule, beef or pork tastes best in borscht.

First, prepare the broth. Place the meat on the bones in cold water, bring to a boil and cook for an hour and a half. Then strain the broth, remove the meat from the bone and divide into portions.

Vegetables can be grated on a coarse grater or cut into thin cubes. In the first case, the borscht will turn out more homogeneous and mushy. Sauté onions, carrots and tomatoes in vegetable oil. When the vegetables are browned, add the pasta, stir and simmer for a few more minutes.

Separately, fry the beets for 5 minutes. When it “seizes,” pour water into it to lightly cover the bottom of the pan, and simmer under the lid for about a quarter of an hour. To prevent the beets from losing their rich red hue, add a little citric acid to them at this stage of cooking.

Bring the broth to a boil again, put pieces of meat, chopped white cabbage, bell pepper and potato slices into the pan. When the water boils, add all the other ingredients and simmer until the potatoes and cabbage are cooked. At the very end, salt and pepper the dish, add finely chopped herbs and garlic.

Goulash with bell pepper

Ingredients:

  • pork fillet - 0.5 kg;
  • tomatoes - 2 pcs.;
  • bell pepper - 2 pcs.;
  • onions - 2 pcs.;
  • wheat flour - 1 tbsp;
  • adjika - 1 tsp;
  • salt and pepper to taste.

The dish will turn out even more tender if you choose meat that is not very fatty. Cut it into small cubes. Finely chop the onion, sauté in vegetable oil until golden brown, add pork to it. Stir the meat occasionally to brown on each side. After about 7 minutes, sprinkle the pork with wheat flour and mix again. Pour water into the meat so as to cover it, and simmer the dish under the lid for about half an hour.

Cut the vegetables into thin strips and place in a frying pan. At the same stage, salt the dish, add black pepper and adjika to it. Cook the goulash for another half hour. Check the readiness of the vegetables - they should soften and turn into mush. If this does not happen, simmer the food for another 5-7 minutes.

Bell pepper in a slow cooker

Ingredients:

  • bell pepper - 8 pcs.;
  • minced meat or minced poultry - 0.8 kg;
  • carrots - 1 pc.;
  • onions - 1 pc.;
  • tomato paste - 3 tbsp;
  • rice - 0.5 multi-cups;

In the "fry" mode, fry finely chopped onion in vegetable oil for 5 minutes. Add the grated carrots to the bowl and cook for another 10 minutes.

Remove seeds from each pepper, being careful not to damage the outer walls. Place chopped herbs, half the fried vegetables and moistened rice into the minced meat. Add salt, add black pepper and mix all ingredients. Spread the resulting mass into the peppers.

This recipe came to Russia straight from Moldova, where green peppers are fried everywhere during the vegetable season. Despite the ease of preparation, roasted bell peppers are a surprisingly tasty dish. Cook it with caution, as peppers tend to splatter oil over long distances when frying in a frying pan. To avoid this as much as possible, dry the vegetables thoroughly before dipping them into the oil.

You will need a lot of vegetable oil, it should completely fill the bottom of the pan. There is no need to cut the green pepper; dip it whole into the oil. Fry the vegetables on each side for about 3 minutes, and when turning them over, try not to pierce them with a fork. The dish must be cooked covered.

When the peppers are fried, place them in a glass plate and cool at room temperature. Remove the skins from cold vegetables. Pour the juice that will be released into a separate container. Add chopped garlic, salt and black pepper to it. You also have a delicious sauce in front of you, to which you can add citric acid if desired.
