How To Make Roasted Peppers
by “Ciao Chow Linda”
A friend of regular contributor and Sizzle on the Grill Guest Chef “Stacey” is a food writer of a blog about Italian cooking called “Ciao Chow Linda.” I enjoy preparing rustic meals using ingredients, cooking methods and techniques that could easily be called Italian-style and Linda has great recipes and tips. With the summer harvest here – either you, your friends or a nearby vegetable stand will have an abundance of peppers. Now is the time to enjoy them fresh in salads, a quick sauté or, as Linda has done in this post – roast as many as you can fit on your grill, skin and seed them to freeze and enjoy all year long. Thank you Linda for allowing me to share your step-by-step article and I encourage you to give this a try at home. As I say roasted peppers are “A joy of summer in a land of bounty my friends.”
Welcome to the cook-out!

For all my Italian friends and food blogger buddies, this will seem like a very elementary post. But I’ve had requests from readers to do more of these “How to” posts and I thought I’d start with roast peppers – easy to do and oh-so-much better than that jarred stuff packed in vinegary brine. Roasted peppers – good, homemade roasted peppers – add pizzazz to a lot of meals and make a nice bruschetta appetizer all by themselves with the addition of a little olive oil and garlic. While at the Trenton Farmer’s Market yesterday, I bought a bushel of these meaty red peppers for $12. They’ll get even less expensive as September approaches. But they were still cheap enough to lure me since I needed a fresh batch. (more…)
