Sauteed Peppers And Tomatoes Recipes

PIPERADE (SAUTE OF PEPPERS, ONIONS AND TOMATOES)

Steps:

• Preheat broiler with broiler rack about 2 inches from heat. Broil peppers for 10 minutes, turning as skins blister and blacken. Remove peppers. When cool enough to handle, carefully peel and seed, discarding skins and seeds. Cut peppers into thin strips.
• In large skillet, using no butter or oil, combine peppers, onions, tomatoes, garlic and herbs and cook, covered, over very low heat for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally. Mixture should be quite thick.
• Piperade can be made ahead and put into 4 half-cup ramekins or molds. To reheat, place in boiling water bath and cook on top of stove until warmed through, about 10 minutes.

SAUTEED ONIONS AND PEPPERS

Steps:

• Cut the onions in half, and then slice them into 1/8-inch-thick half-rounds. (You will have about 10 cups of onions.)
• Heat the olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the onions and saute for 15 to 20 minutes. Add the peppers, garlic, vinegar, tomato puree, pepper flakes, salt and pepper and continue cooking an additional 10 minutes.

SAUTEED PEPPERS AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the peppers and then shake the pan to coat them with oil.

PEPPERS ROASTED WITH GARLIC, BASIL AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with olive oil flavored cooking spray.

• Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, then remove the aluminum foil, and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, and sprinkle with herb vinegar. These are equally good served hot or cold.

SAUTEED PORK CHOPS WITH TOMATOES, ONIONS & PEPPERS

Steps:

• Pat pork chops dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat remaining tablespoon oil in skillet over high heat until just smoking, then saute chops until browned and just cooked through, about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer chops to a platter and keep warm, covered.
• Return onion and yellow pepper to skillet and add tomatoes. Saute over moderately high heat, stirring, until tomatoes are slightly wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vinegar and salt and pepper to taste.
• Serve chops topped with onion, peppers and tomato.
