The more I learn to cook, the more I see stuff in the grocery store and think that I could do that too. Â My aim is both that I can make it a lot cheaper but presumably, make it just as good if not better. Â I enjoy roasted red peppers and have had this thought for a while. Today was the day to put this to the test. Â I got on line and googled a few recipes to decide what ingredients to use to brine the peppers.
Recipe:
Marinated Roasted Red Peppers:Â
INGREDIENTS
9 clean red bell peppers
1 cup bottled lemon juice
2 cups white vinegarÂ
1 cup olive oilÂ
2 cloves garlic, quartered
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
Directions:
- Place Red Peppers on a baking sheet and cook in an oven on a low broil. Â Let the peppers blister but not turn to black and then rotate and complete on each side of the pepper
- Take the peppers and place in paper bag. (The steam from the hot peppers will help dislodge the skins.) Once the peppers have cooled enough to handle, work with them one by one over a plate, gently peel off the blackened skins. Pull out the stem and discard the seed pods, stems and all seeds.
- Meanwhile, heat the lemon juice, white vinegar, olive oil, garlic, and salt, in a saucepan until boiling. Let Cool.
- Put peppers in jars and fill with liquid and seal. Â
I completely agree with your take on making as much as possible yourself instead of buying it. I actually freeze my roast peppers. First spread on a chopping board and allow to freeze. Then wrap each slice in clingfilm and places these in a freezer bag.
