Description:
I was obviously inspired by "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers" line today.
However, I do love peppers and pickled peppers make for a delicious antipasto or pizza topping, wouldn't you agree? Delicious also in pasta sauce, or wherver you would otherwise use peppers.
Ingredients:
1 kg mixed red and yellow peppers
4 basil leaves
2 bay leaves
5 black peppercorns
2 cloves of peeled garlic
1 pint white wine vinegar
Directions:
Preheat the grill to hot. Halve and seed the peppers. Place them skin up and grill for 15 minutes until charred.
Place the peppers in a plastic bag to sweat for 10 minutes. Peel the skin off. Slice the peppers into thick strips then set aside to cool.
Gently bruise the basil leaves between your fingers and put in a sterilized jar with the peppers, peppercorns, herbs and garlic. Add the vinegar.
Seal and use within 6 months.
Tip: when peeling the charred skin, hold the peppers over a bowl to catch the juice. Which can then be added to the jar when you put all ingredients in.

ReplyDeleteso..cheese is a no-no also? woe and whoa!
ReplyDeleteFotunately Cheese has no effect on me so I eat lots of it.
ReplyDeleteHindi ako mahilig sa pepper, bell or whatever. Hindi rin ako mahilig sa pasta. Siguro kung may baboy. Hehehe.
ReplyDeleteok, bacon rules...
ReplyDeletepasta with bacon bits..or in your case, bacon strips :-)
ako naman, I love, love peppers...I think it helps my metabolism..or maybe its just an excuse to eat 'em..
mukhang masarap...:)
ReplyDeleteeven grilled pepper smells amazingly...ewan...masrap din..hehe..
ReplyDeleteoh my. I think I've tried those and they were delicious. saan nga ba yon?
ReplyDeletehmm..you didn't bring us with you ...so can't tell :-)
ReplyDeletein that case John, you can eat the Capri salad I talked about...
ReplyDeleteYes, provided it does not contain American proccessed cheese or lousey English factory produced rubbish.
ReplyDeleteget good quality mozzarella..and you will be fine...I think you will not have a problem there in your country with cheese...
ReplyDeletemany a time here, I could groan over the cheese selection and price (how to balance what I want with what is in my pocketbook) :-)
I also groaned a lot in Thailand, nothing worth eating could be found, at least not in Supermarkets, all they had was lousey American proccessed stuff or very poor quality tasteless junk exported by Danish "Arla foods" I don't think Thais go much for cheese.
ReplyDeletehmm..come to think of it, I can't remember any Thai food I ate which had any cheese at all...
ReplyDeleteoh goodness, I saw the Arla brand here earlier and I just decided to try it :-( waaaah..why didn't I know this beforehand...
ReplyDeleteSorry, didn't know you also got it there. We don't get any of it here, only really good Danish cheese etc.
ReplyDeleteok..*prepares paper and pen*
ReplyDeletewhat are the good brands of Danish cheese..maybe I can ask a former classmate who is working with an importer of cheese and such if they have those...:-)
I'll send a list as a PM.
ReplyDeletemany thanks John...its ok if you have just top 5...:-)
ReplyDeleteI can imagine you looking thru the deli there *wink*
At the moment I'm cooking my dinner.
ReplyDeletelol.
bon apetit...it must be breakfast now :-)
ReplyDelete555 Yes, I've just eaten it and am finishing my coffee before driving my car in for service.
ReplyDeletethanks John for the list of cheeses! I will still look for 'em..though now I really do wish we had something like Star Trek where I can just beam up the cheeses to my kitchen counter from Denmark *grin*
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome.
ReplyDeleteNow that's a great idea, could be used for holiday trips too!
hmm...you'd probably be in Japan 11 months in a whole year...
ReplyDelete555, maybe other places some times though.
