Herbed Bell Peppers, and how it all started at home
Bell Peppers a.k.a capsicum is a much loved veggie at home, esp for the little one and me. It wasn't that way a few years ago when the husband and the kids used to turn up their nose at the vegetable. But when we started making GF pasta twice a month for Sunday Brunch, these herbed bell peppers made their way to the dining table and are much relished.
Today's dish is a 5-min quick sautè that we love to have as a salad, a meal (sometimes with some protein like broccoli or chickpeas thrown in) or as a side with Pasta in Homemade Arrabiata sauce. Add some Broccoli, Feta to this and you would love this Broccoli-Bell Pepper Salad with Orange Vinaigerette. Another quick veggie based side you can make for pasta is this garlic and mint Airfryer Carrots
Did you know ? ????
Did you know that Bell Peppers are actually fruits,because they come from a flowering plant? However, most people think of them as vegetables. Bell Peppers contain the single amount of Vitamin C compared to any other veggie!
Various recipes you can try with Bell Pepper
- Roasted Bell Pepper Hummus
- Baked Tofu Stuffed Peppers
- the kids' favourite Panner Pepper Pizza, Ratatouille .. and many more..
Bell Peppers are very delicate, and like mushrooms cook very quickly. The bestway to get maximum flavour out of them is to roast them or saute them lightly.
