Grilled Bell Peppers With Criolla Sauce Recipes

ROASTED RED PEPPERS: SALSA CRIOLLA WITH CAMPFIRE

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor charcoal grill to medium-high. Rub the peppers with oil and season them with salt and pepper. Place the peppers directly on the grill and roast for 10 minutes, turning periodically with tongs, so they are really charred and blistered on all sides. Put the peppers into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and steam for about 10 minutes to loosen the skins. Pull out the cores of the red peppers and remove the seeds. Peel the blackened skins and tear the peppers into strips; put them on a serving platter.
• Put the onion, tomatoes, garlic, and parsley on a cutting board; chop everything up into bite-size pieces and swipe the mixture into a bowl; season generously with salt and pepper. Pour in the vinegar and oil, mix well to incorporate the ingredients. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Pour the salsa over the roasted red peppers and serve at room temperature with beef or other dishes.

GRILLED BELL PEPPERS

Steps:

• Take several bell peppers, cleaned of the stems and seeds. Cut into strips lengthwise. These can be four to six depending on the size of the peppers and your preference.
• Season LIGHTLY with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Brush both sides of the strips with good olive oil.
• Place skin side down on hot grill, until skin blisters and peppers soften (3-8 minutes depending on grill). You can let the skin brown a bit if desired.
• Turn peppers and grill until inner side is done (about half the time of the skin side -- 2-4 minutes).
• Try this with different color peppers. Maybe add a few green onions.
• Try this with Anaheim peppers -- Very good!
• Try adding sliced zucchini, too.
