Whole Roasted Peppers With Yogurt And Fresh Tomato Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with olive oil flavored cooking spray.
• Place the bell pepper halves open side up in the prepared baking dish. In a medium bowl, toss together the cherry tomatoes, basil and garlic. Fill each pepper half with a handful of this mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
• Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, then remove the aluminum foil, and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, and sprinkle with herb vinegar. These are equally good served hot or cold.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Add the tomatoes, olive oil, oregano, garlic, onion, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and the red pepper flakes to a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot with a lid. Stir so that everything is coated in oil and spices. Roast in the Dutch oven, uncovered, until the tomatoes start to soften and split, about 1 hour.
• Stir and flip the tomatoes, then cook until the tomatoes, garlic and onion are all browned and very soft, about 1 hour more. At this point everything should be easily smashed with the back of a spoon. Transfer the pot to the stove and keep covered.
• While the tomatoes finish roasting, bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons salt and the pasta. Cook 2 minutes less than package instructions. Reserve 1 cup pasta water and drain the pasta.
• Add 1/2 cup of the pasta water to the cooked tomatoes and carefully blend with an immersion blender, tipping the pot slightly if necessary to fully submerge the blender (or transfer to a regular blender) and blend until smooth. Bring the blended sauce to a simmer over medium-high heat, then add the drained pasta and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Adding more pasta water if the mixture needs to be saucier. Serve warm with a few basil leaves and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.

Steps:

• Grill peppers over coals, under a broiler or over a gas flame until blackened. Remove from heat and place in a bowl. Cover bowl and allow peppers to sit for 15 minutes.
• Skin peppers, cut in half and remove seeds and membranes, holding peppers over bowl to catch juices. Cut lengthwise into wide strips and place in a bowl. Strain juice into bowl with peppers and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• In a mortar and pestle, purée garlic with a generous pinch of salt. Stir into the yogurt. Add lemon juice.
• Arrange peppers on a platter or on individual plates. Spoon yogurt on top, drizzle on a little olive oil, garnish with chopped herbs if desired and serve.

Steps:

• Put the bell peppers on a piece of foil on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated 350°F oven for 3/4-1 hour, until soft and browned in parts, turning them over once.
• For the tomato sauce, heat the garlic in the oil, stirring for a few seconds only, until the aroma rises. Add the tomatoes, sugar, salt, and chili pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes, until reduced and thick. Add the vinegar towards the end. Serve the peppers whole. Do not peel them. Pass around the yogurt and the tomato sauce for people to help themselves.
• Mix 1-2 crushed garlic cloves with the yogurt and add a little salt.
• Small eggplants, one for each person, can be roasted whole at the same time and served with the peppers.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven 400°f.
• Slice tomatoes in half, set aside.
• Pour the olive oil onto a large baking sheet and spread it around the sheet.
• Sprinkle evenly the garlic, herbs, sugar, salt and pepper over the oil.
• Place the tomatoes cut side down onto the baking sheet.
• Roast for about 30-40 minutes, or until the skins start to lift from the tomatoes.
• Allow to cool.
• Remove the skins and put the sauce into a large bowl and break up the flesh with a fork.
• Reheat sauce if using immediately.

Steps:

• Roast the peppers over a flame, under a broiler or on a grill until uniformly charred. Place in a plastic bag or a tightly covered bowl and allow to cool. When cool enough to handle, remove all of the charred skin, rinse briefly and pat dry.
• Carefully cut away the stem from the peppers. Cut a slit down the side of each pepper, from the stem end to the bottom. Gently open out and remove the seeds and membranes; tip out the juice. Try to keep the peppers in one piece. Set aside.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium heat in a large, nonstick skillet and add the garlic. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the parsley and quinoa and mix together until the quinoa is coated with oil. Remove from the heat and stir in the cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Oil a baking dish large enough to accommodate all of the peppers. One at a time, lay a pepper in the dish and fill with the quinoa mixture. I do this by gently opening up the pepper, mounding the filling onto one half, and folding the other half back over the filling, overlapping the edges slightly. Lay the peppers in the dish. Cover the baking dish with foil or a lid and bake the peppers for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, reheat the tomato sauce.
• Ladle the tomato sauce onto serving plates or a serving platter. Top with the stuffed peppers and serve.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Arrange the peppers, cut-side up, on an oiled baking dish to fit. Brush the peppers with some oil.
• 2. Place 4 garlic slices in each pepper. Place 4 red cherry tomatoes in each yellow-pepper half and 4 yellow cherry tomatoes in each red pepper half. Sprinkle the peppers evenly with the capers, thyme, salt and pepper. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil. Bake for 35 minutes. Cool the peppers to room temperature.
• 3. To serve, arrange the peppers on a platter in alternating colors.

Steps:

• Blend tomatoes thoroughly in food processor or electric blender.
• Heat oil in sauce pan and add garlic and peppers. Cook, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes. Do not brown.
• Add tomatoes, oregano, salt and pepper. Simmer, uncovered, about seven minutes.

Steps:

• Keep the peppers whole and roast over an open flame or under a broiler; steam inside a paper bag and peel; see any of the roasted red bell pepper recipes posted on this site for more detailed instructions if needed.
• Core all the peppers, but keep the red ones whole, removing the seeds from the center; set aside.
• Roughly chop the yellow peppers after removing the seeds; puree in a blender with the oil until smooth and emulsified; season with kosher salt and pepper.
• The peppers and puree can be chilled at least 24 hours or serve immediately; spoon the puree onto a serving plate and place a red pepper in the center; sprinkle with sea salt.
