Instructions
Step 1
The processing of bell peppers depends on how and in what form you are going to cook it. But remember: for any dish, it is best to use good quality peppers that are not stale on the shelf. If, after long storage, the peppers have slightly lost their presentation, place them for an hour and a half in a container with cold water. When the fruits are saturated with moisture and restore the lost supply of liquid, you can start processing them.
Step 2
For the salad, cut the pepper, previously washed in water, into slices, free from seeds and partitions. Cut off excess "growths" with a knife, and then chop the pepper into narrow strips. Peppers cut into rings look very nice in a dish. In this case, no difficulties should arise: everything is quite simple. Cut the fruit across and then peel the seeds.
Step 3
If you're making stuffed peppers, stock up on a good knife with a sharp blade first. It is best to use a small to medium sized knife in this case. So it will be convenient to peel the pepper so as not to damage the walls of the fruit.
Step 4
Above, where the stalk is located, make several cuts with a knife so that the "tail" of the pepper can be pulled out with most of the seeds. Then remove the remaining seeds with your hands or with a spoon. And after that, if necessary, cut off the most fleshy partitions. Although not necessary, for lovers of the pepper rather than the filling, it may not be to your liking.
Step 5
You can also bake peppers in the oven. To do this, wash the fruits, then dry them, place them in a baking sheet with high edges and place them in an oven preheated to 120-150 ° C and increase the heat. After about ten minutes, check the condition of the peppers. If you cook them for stuffing, they should be half cooked. Remove the peppers from the oven and carefully peel them off. Then fill with the prepared filling.
Step 6
The pepper can be blanched. To do this, prepare a deep pot of water. Put it on fire and bring the water to a boil. Then place the peppers, previously peeled from the stalks and seeds, into a colander and immerse it in boiling water for 1-2 minutes.
Step 7
If you are going to use frozen peppers during cooking, defrost them first. To do this, place the fruits in cold water for 5-10 minutes or wait until they thaw at room temperature. It is not recommended to heat and pour hot water over the peppers.
