Marinated Red Peppers With Lemon And Garlic Recipes

MARINATED ROASTED BELL PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Wash and dry your peppers and place them on their side on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Roast in upper third of oven until skin is completely charred and the flesh is soft (alternately, you can use the barbecue.) Make sure you turn the peppers allowing all sides to get black and blistered. This can take between 45-60 minutes.
• While the peppers are roasting, combine the ingredients for the marinade.
• Once the peppers are done, transfer to a heatproof bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Allow to cool for about 30 minutes.
• When cool enough to handle, remove stems and charred skins. Cut peppers in half to remove the seeds and then cut in long strips. Do not rinse your peppers under running water.
• Combine with the marinade and toss gently together.
• Allow to sit for a few hours for the flavors to mingle together. Can be served at room temperature.
• Can also be refrigerated for up to a week

MARINATED ROASTED RED PEPPERS CANNING RECIPE

Steps:

• Wash your jars, lids, screw bands, and canning tools in hot soapy water. Rinse well to remove all suds. Set aside to air dry on a clean kitchen towel.
• Place the jar rack into water bath canner, place jars in the canner, and add water to cover. Bring the canner to a simmer (180˚F) for 10 minutes, and keep the jars hot until you are ready to fill them.
• Rinse peppers well under clean, running water. Cut each pepper in half, and remove the stems, seeds, and ribs.
• Blister the skins of your peppers by grilling or broiling until the skins crack and separate from the flesh.
• Remove the peppers from the heat and place in a covered glass bowl to steam.
• Once the peppers are cool enough to handle, remove the skins, and tear or cut into pieces or strips. Divide the peeled roasted peppers evenly into piles to match the number of jars.
• Heat about 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and sauté briefly until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
• Add the remaining olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, dried oregano, and sugar if using. Bring to a boil, and then reduce the heat to low. Keep warm until you are ready to use.
• Spread a kitchen towel on the counter. Use your jar lifter to remove a jar from canner, drain, and place on the towel. Keep the remaining jars in the canner so they stay hot.
• Fill the jar with roasted peppers, leaving a 1/2-inch headspace. Give your marinating brine a good stir to be sure the oil is evenly distributed. Use your canning funnel and ladle to fill the jar about halfway with the brine.
• Run your bubble popper through the jar to mix the peppers with the brine, and top off with more brine leaving a 1/2-inch headspace. Run the bubble popper through the jars again to remove air bubbles.
• Wipe the rim with a damp towel to remove residue. Center a lid on the jar, place the band over the lid, and screw it on until fingertip tight. Place the jar back into the canner, and repeat with the rest of the jars.
• Once jars are all in canner, adjust the water level so it is 2-inches over the tops of the jars.
• Cover the canner and bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once the water is boiling, process both half-pints and pints for 15 minutes at altitudes of less than 1,000 ft. Adjust processing time for your altitude if necessary (See Notes below).
• When processing time is complete, turn off heat, remove the cover by tilting lid away from you so that steam does not burn your face, and allow the canner to cool down and settle for 5 minutes.
• Spread a kitchen towel on the counter. Use a jar lifter to remove the jars one at a time from the canner. Keep the jars upright, and place them on the towel. Do not tighten ring bands or test the seals yet. Let the jars sit undisturbed for 12 to 24-hours to cool.
• After the jars have cooled for at least 12 hours, check to be sure lids have sealed by pushing on the center of the lid. The lid should not pop up. If the lid flexes up and down, it did not seal. Refrigerate the jar and use within 2 weeks.
• Remove the screw on bands and wash the jars. Label, date, and store the jars of marinated red bell peppers in a cool, dark location between 50 to 70 degrees F for 12 to 18 months.
• For best flavor, let the jars sit for at least 4 weeks before opening to allow the flavors to develop. Refrigerate after opening and use up within 2 weeks. Yields about 8 half-pint or 4 pints.

MARINATED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place the whole red, green and yellow peppers in the oven directly on the rack. Roast for about 15 minutes, turning if needed, until the skin is well scorched. Immediately place in a bowl covered with plastic wrap or in a paper bag, and allow to cool.
• Remove the skins from the peppers by rubbing with your hands, and rinse under cold water. Cut in half, remove stem and seeds, then cut into strips.
• Place peppers into a medium serving bowl, and stir in the garlic, vinegar, oil, basil, parsley, salt and pepper.

ROASTED MARINATED SWEET PEPPERS

Steps:

• Prepare a hot fire in a gas or charcoal grill or preheat a grill pan or heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat. Place the peppers on the grill or in the grill pan or skillet, and cook them, turning frequently, until they are charred on all sides and the flesh is tender, 15 to 20 minutes. (Alternatively, you can cook the peppers over the direct flame of a gas stove.)
• Place the peppers in a plastic bag or a large bowl. Close the bag or seal the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and set the peppers aside to steam until they are cool enough to handle. Rub off the charred skin, but do not rinse them with water. De-stem and open up the peppers and slide off the core and seeds.
• Rip the peppers into big strips and layer them in a 1-quart (1L) canning jar. Scatter the garlic slices and basil leaves between each layer and pour some marinade made with the olive oil, vinegar, anchovies, capers and salt on each layer.
• Set the peppers aside to marinate for at least 20 minutes, or until you are ready to serve them. Store with the jar lid on, refrigerated for up to several days. Bring the peppers to room temperature before serving.

MARINATED RED PEPPERS WITH GARLIC AND MARJORAM

Steps:

• Heat broiler. Place bell peppers on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil, turning occasionally, until skins are blackened and blistered all over, 14-17 minutes. Transfer peppers to a large bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and sweat 15 minutes.
• Remove skins and seeds from peppers; discard. Tear peppers into about 2"-wide strips. Toss in a clean large bowl with garlic, oil, vinegar, and 1 Tbsp. marjoram; season with salt. Let sit at least 20 minutes and up to 4 hours.
• Just before serving, taste peppers and season with more vinegar and/or salt if needed. Scatter remaining 1 Tbsp. marjoram over top.

MARINATED RED PEPPERS

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, mix distilled white vinegar, white sugar, vegetable oil and water. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in salt, garlic and anchovy filets.
• Place red bell peppers in a large bowl. Cover with the vinegar mixture. Cover and chill in the refrigerator 8 hours, or overnight, before serving.

MARINATED RED PEPPERS WITH LEMON AND GARLIC

Steps:

• 1. Place the peppers on a heated grill, and rotate several times until lightly charred on all sides. Transfer to a large bowl. 2. When the peppers are cool enough to handle, scrape off and discard the charred skin with your fingers, and lightly rinse under running water. 3. Make a slit down the side of each pepper, and remove and discard the seeds and veins. Tear or cut the peppers into wide strips (1/8 to 1/2 inch), and place in a mixing bowl. 4. Heat the lemon juice, oil, garlic, and salt in a small pot over medium-high heat until almost boiling. Pour over the peppers, cover, and let marinate overnight on the kitchen counter. 5. Transfer to a clean pint jar, and store in the refrigerator, where it will keep up to four months. For a Change . . . • Instead of grilling, cook the peppers in an oven broiler, or over the open flame of a gas burner. • Slightly vary the amounts of lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and/or salt. • Use umeboshi vinegar for some of the lemon juice and salt.
