peppers recipes and questions

Like thriftlady I was told roasting and skinning them works. Worth a try! Roasted peppers are nice in lasagne or on pizzas, or just whizzed into a tomato sauce.

Yup, kittie, spot on ! but I love their avocadoes and pears and everything else so put up with the peppers. I shall try skinning them and see if that works, otherwise I shall have to give them away. Thanks, ladies !

Peppers make me ill no matter what I do to them... the only cure was not eating them

Does the veg box supplier make substitutes?

http://bastyrcenter.org/content/view/898/ according to this red peppers improve indigestion symptoms but it is in tablet form.
A lot of people find the skins of both these and tomatoes difficult to digest so hopefully for you, skinning them will clear the problem

I'd second the roasting/skinning idea. It certainly works for my OH, who has no end of stomach trouble after eating raw peppers, or cooked peppers with skins on. Char them over a gas flame so the skin blisters and gets black patches all over, and stick them straight into a plastic bag while still warm and seal the top. The skins will slip off easily after they've cooled down. He calls these "magic peppers" because they don't give him indigestion!

You can freeze skinned and roasted peppers

Hi everyone!

We seem to have accumulated 5 perfectly good green peppers (mostly from buying the smartprice bag of peppers and using up the red instead of buying them individually...). Any ideas what I could make to use them up? Normally I put the red peppers (and sometimes orange / yellow) into carrot and red pepper soup, which is zero WW points and the OH loves, but the green peppers are a bit less sweet and I seem to have a complete mind blank in how to use them up!!

Any ideas appreciated!

Edit: We're moving house on saturday so I'm trying to use the fresh food up by then!

Use them up in chilli, either a meat chilli con carne or a 3 bean chilli. Or roast them with a selection of other veg?

Stuffed with chilli or something with mince
Chicken fajitas (using mine up this way tonight)
Stir fry with prawns or thin beef or chicken

Good idea! We have a pack of nice lean mince in the fridge and loads of value tinned tomatoes... so that works! I could try for the worlds healthiest chilli. What do we think of putting a stray can of chickpeas in instead of kidney beans to use them up and save a trip to the shops?
