peppers recipes and questions

If they're not too far gone, you could cut them up and freeze them to use in stews and stir fries.

Roasted pepper soup, stuffed peppers, diced peppers fried with onion cubed cooked potatoe and bacon?

elsien - you beat me to it - that was exactly what I was going to say!

If they're really wrinkly they'll probably be better for stews - I add them to chilli (meat or veggie) when they get to this stage, as they get so well cooked you can't tell they were past their best.

As long as they are not mouldy, I use them in any cooking I would normally use them in. The only thing I wouldn't do with wrinkly peppers is use them raw...

Hi tinksy,

We have an earlier thread with lots of ideas for using up peppers so I've added your post to it to keep the suggestions together.

I have just picked 2 large carrier bags full of green sweet peppers, they wouldnt ripen and the plants were dying.

Has any one got any ideas what to do with them as I dont want to waste them? They are the long ones like Romano

Thanks

You could try putting a ripe banana in bag for a few days and store in a cool place, this should help ripen them.
Don't think you'd want to freeze 2 bags full, but you could do some.
Freezing Bell or Sweet Peppers
