When I have an abundance of green peppers, I use them or cook them like fried onion rings. You must cut them about 3/4" thick and rest them in ice cold water. Immediately before dipping them into your favorite breading lay them on paper towels to dry and dust them with a bit of flour. We like to add a bit of cayenne pepper, or Cajun spice mix to the flour mix...yummy!
Green pepper soup is delish also:
Green Pepper
Soup
I cook this
both on the stove and in my crock pot,
either way it is delicious. I serve
this with a nice crusty bread and lots of fresh cracked black pepper. Feel free to add any herbs or spices of your
choice, fresh dill is always a nice addition as is basil. I have also added the flavored 15 ounce cans ot tomatoes(chili, Italian, etc.)with wonderful results.
1 lg onion chopped
5 – 7 green peppers, chopped
Brown the above
ingredients and drain well. Now add:
6 cans of
Tomato Soup and 5 soup cans of water(You can add 1 46 ounce can of V8 or Tomato Juice in place of the soup)
1 can of vegetable broth & 1 broth can of water(1 can = 2 cups of broth)
2 tsp of Brown Sugar
2 small cans of Tomato Sauce
3/4 cup of uncooked white rice
Simmer on low until the rice is cooked. You may eventually want to add about
another cup or so of water, if the soup gets too thick.
(I've doubled this recipe and frozen a portion of it. When I go to use the
frozen batch, I added a can of vegetable broth and another can of tomato soup.
It just seemed that after it was frozen it was really thick!)
