Hello! Welcome to the June edition of The Recipe Box Swap!
Today there is no theme, so any recipe goes. Whatever you are craving or thinking of for dinner tonight, post it on your blog and add your post URL to the auto-link below. Then you can get to looking for some great recipes from the list.
My contribution for the day is not so much a recipe, as it is a how-to. I love roasted red peppers, but hardly ever used them due to their cost, but I found that they are very simple to make. This is the season to buy the peppers on sale and roast up a bunch and add them to salads, pasta dishes, sandwiches, pizzas, etc., etc. You will fall in love with these for sure!
How to Roast a Red Pepper:
1. Buy some red peppers, or better yet, pick them from your garden when they are ripe:
2. Line a baking sheet with tin foil and arrange the peppers on it:
3. Place them in your oven set on broil for approximately 15-30 minutes, or until the skin is blackened and blistered:
4. Place them in a ziploc bag to cool completely:
5. Remove them from the bag and peel of the skins (they come off very easily):
6. Chop them to the desired size (I like mine in strips) and use them as you please. I added some to my lasagna sauce and they tasted great!
If you need some inspiration, here are some roasted red pepper recipes to choose from.
Happy cooking!
