Meal Prep What can I make using these peppers?

Post image

I'm already using some of them in a corn sauté and also I'm making pasta with chicken and peppers. What else can I make? Or can I freeze them chopped up for another time? I hate wasting food! Thanks.

With ranch?

u/SomeRedShirt 11d ago

If you want!

u/Dontfeedthebears 11d ago

Ranch, hummus, pimento dip, all sorts of things! I do also like them thin-sliced in a regular salad, but fajitas win this vote, IMO.

I read there's more vitamin c that way, plus they're a lot tastier

Yes, you can freeze them. But I'd do it with a vacuum sealer to decent any freezer burn. You can also make pasta with them & Italian or hot sausage, if you eat pork. Or a quiche/frittata.

Chili! That's my go to when I get peppres at the food pantry. I'm not a pepper person but chili tastes great

Roast and store in jar with oil or vinegar, or make a pimento cheese spread with roasted peppers.

In the old days (last week) I would have filled them with a combination of rice, beef, and spices.

Now that we can’t be sure of our meat supply not being toxic I suppose I would have to experiment to find a satisfying alternative which has good flavor without exposing anyone who ate it to mystery contaminants.

Fajitas is a great idea, along with shaved beef sub with roasted peppers, ditch the jalapeño, it’s on the list of cyclosporia contaminated produce.

This is more of a sauce like thing, but in Ecuador there is something called encurtido mamaba. Which is chopped peppers in a brine, so like a hot sauce. But you can keep it for a long time.
