Italian Marinated Peppers Recipes

MARINATED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place peppers on a rimmed baking sheet; rub with 1 tablespoon oil. Roast until peppers are soft and skins have split, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer peppers to a medium bowl. Cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let peppers steam 20 minutes.
• Peel peppers, slice in half lengthwise, and remove ribs and seeds. Cut into 1-inch-wide strips and return to bowl. Add lemon zest and juice, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and 3 tablespoons oil and toss.

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.

MARINATED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450˚ F. Put the peppers on a parchment-lined baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Roast until the skins are charred in spots and the peppers are tender, 20 to 30 minutes (the Italian peppers may be done before the bell peppers). Remove the peppers to a large bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let the peppers steam so the skins loosen, at least 20 minutes.
• Carefully peel the skins off the peppers, scraping away any stuck bits using a paring knife. Lay the peppers flat on a cutting board and tear them open like a book; remove the stems and scrape away the seeds, then tear the peppers into long strips, about 1 1/2 inches wide. Transfer the strips to a medium bowl.
• Add the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil, the vinegar, oregano, basil, garlic and a big pinch of salt to the peppers; toss. Transfer to a small jar and refrigerate at least 3 hours or up to 1 week.
