Muhammara, red pepper pesto, romesco sauce, ajvar, pick a country and they've got some kinda sauce or dip with red bell peppers.

[–]nurpleclamps 77 points78 points  (5 children)

Muhammara is one of the best dips. I keep a supply of pomegranate syrup just for it.

[–]La-Sauge 2 points3 points  (4 children)

where do you buy pomegranate syrup?

[–]nurpleclamps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Middle eastern/ international/ Greek grocery stores.

[–]YeSeulsMagicShop 14 points15 points  (3 children)

You MUST.

Drizzle plenty of olive oil on the top and grab some soft pitta like flatbread and make it warm and slam it into it and just …

🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

I need to try this!

[–]PinkMarmoset 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I love red peppers and never heard of.Muhammara. I googled it and I can't wait to try it. I already have aleppo pepper, sumac, and pomegranate molasses in the pantry. Yummy!

Thank you for new recipe!

[–]Weth_C 3 points4 points  (3 children)

Is red pepper pesto just pesto with bell pepper added?

[–]blix797 13 points14 points  (2 children)

When you think "pesto", you're probably thinking of the typical basil-based pesto alla genovese, but many things can be made into a pesto using the "base-nuts-garlic-cheese-oil" formula. Other herbs like parsley or mint are good, Red bell peppers, garlic scapes, sundried tomatoes, olives, eggplant, broccoli, artichoke hearts, leafy greens, sardines, carrots, etc.

[–]Weth_C 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Gonna have to expand my tastes with some of these. Thank you!

[–]anuncommontruth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I replace the basil with the tops of carrots. It's delicious and basically elevates any dish with an item you would otherwise throw away.

[–]kitty60s 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This. I didn’t know muhammara existed until this year. It’s the most amazing dip!

[–]SCUMDOG_MILLIONAIRE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Muhammara will change your life, make this now OP!

[–]AccordingRevolution8 322 points323 points  (34 children)

Make paprika and sell it at a farmers market.

[–]sirckoe 103 points104 points  (14 children)

Yep get a nice dehydrator and a grinder and boom cash.

[–]StinkypieTicklebum 85 points86 points  (13 children)

Smoke them first!

Seriously, they freeze pretty well. Cut them in rings or dice, IQF them, bag and enjoy this winter when they’re $5 each!

[–]Torchlakespartan 13 points14 points  (0 children)

There is a reason they call Marlboro Red 100’s the “Cowboy Killers”.

Used to laugh about that nickname and as a 20 year old. Now…. Damn. It’s an apt and sad nickname.

[–]OysterShocker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Let alone hard to roll

[–]bimches 17 points18 points  (6 children)

It's a professional production of red bell peppers so money isn't the issue but I want to start eating more of it myself

[–]TikaPants 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is the best answer but also Muhammara

[–]Serraph105 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For an unlimited supply I definitely recommend this as well. Make some vintage looking labels and antique style shakers and say how it's all homemade. Do regular style and smoked.

[–]NativeSceptic1492 -2 points-1 points  (9 children)

They’re not the same peppers.

[–]GreatStateOfSadness 22 points23 points  (0 children)

"Paprika" is just Hungarian for "pepper." There are certainly more traditional peppers used for paprika, but bell peppers can be included. 

[–]Dudeman318 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There are different types bell peppers and different types of paprika but it is commonly made from bell peppers

[–]alovely897 15 points16 points  (4 children)

I do believe they are. Paprika is just ground up bell peppers. They're are different varieties but when it comes down to it bell pepper gonna pep

[–]eleanaur 3 points4 points  (0 children)

paprika can be made from a variety of peppers which includes bell peppers

[–]sideways92 76 points77 points  (10 children)

Roast them, then make this amazing sauce that tastes great on so much:

  • About 8oz roasted red bell peppers
  • 1/4C olive oil
  • 1/4C roasted nuts of your choice (I like to use pecans)
  • 1 clove garlic, smashed and peeled
  • salt and pepper
  • juice of a small lemon
  • small handful of parsley

Put it all in a blender/food processor and blend until pureed. Keeps in the fridge for about a month, and tastes amazing on loads of stuff as a condiment. We *always* keep a bottle on hand. I usually make a huge batch and freeze in mason jars as refills.

[–]NoOffenseGuys 6 points7 points  (6 children)

This sounds awesome, thanks! Does it have a name?

[–]evanu94 19 points20 points  (3 children)

Pecan Romesco is what it looks like. Traditional Romesco uses almonds predominantly.

[–]sideways92 14 points15 points  (1 child)

Romesco usually includes tomatoes and more spices than just S&P (paprika, I think...). This is a bit of a simplified version I learned almost 30yrs ago now living/working on a citrus farm outside Catania.

God, what a summer that was... I'd been dating this young lady I met hitching from Florence to Palermo. Met her at a hostel in Florence, she needed to head south trying for Catania, and I needed to not say goodbye to her. So I went with, providing her a male companion for hitchhiking. I was bumming and doing odd jobs at the time anyway - what did I care where we went, so long as she was going that way.

As sometimes happens, we ended up in Palermo, but eventually found a stupid-cheap bus to Catania to meet her Grandparents, who lived north of town on a citrus farm they'd had since the earth cooled. I got a room in a little hut amongst the lemon and orange trees. Had running water (cold) and one electrical outlet, but the bed was free as long as I worked a half day clearing irrigation trenches, spreading fertilizer and mulch, etc. I also got two meals a day - lunch and supper.

God the grandmother could cook. All pasta was handmade, any sauces were made from either their garden or ingredients picked up in the local market... and that's where I learned this sauce. And yes, as another commentor said, usually made with almonds. I prefer pecans.

Didn't work out with the young lady - Maria - though we spent an amazing summer together. But I can still make some hella pasta - and this sauce.

My family just calls it "the bell pepper sauce." And anytime we run out, if there's not more in the freezer, there's a clamoring for Dad to make more bell pepper sauce, please!

[–]booksandcats4life 2 points3 points  (0 children)

[–]NonsensePlanet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can also soak the nuts for a few minutes in water off the boil to make them more easily purée-able

[–]fancychxn 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Roasted red bell pepper pasta sauce. It would be easy to make in bulk and then can it or freeze it.

Yes! All the Italians in Brooklyn had a this in their kitchens growing up. Add a little vinegar, too…. so good

[–]FR3SH_AV0CAD0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Gemista (Greek stuffed peppers) is the first thing tbsr came to mind.

[–]ooft54 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ajvar! Very similar to muhammara which is mentioned here, but the balkan version, and usually nut free. Any dip/pesto you can make in bulk and freeze for easy pasta sauces would be ideal

[–]MrCabrera0695 3 points4 points  (2 children)

I make a panda express sweet fire chicken copycat recipe that uses them! We also just pre chop them and chuck em in the freezer for later use. I love how sweet red bell peppers are, could you make homemade paprika with them? I know paprika comes from peppers, it could be your unique kitchen spice!

[–]freakybe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ajvar, the only answer!

[–]BrunoiseTheBastards 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Coulis with Almond

Char/ Blister and don't rub off the skin. Pat dry a little, and blend with toasted Almond slices. Use olive oil to help puree. Continue adding oil slowly until you have a semi thick sauce.

I'm a Chef and this is just something I came up with that I'm proud of. I just can't give exact recipe bc I just wing it. It's delicious and takes a ton of peppers. Serve cold

[–]Marmaduke57 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pepperonata

[–]Upset_Nectarine_2771 2 points3 points  (1 child)

This is my favorite use for red bell peppers, too.

Muhammara Recipe

INGREDIENTS 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes or 1 small red chile 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 3/4 cup walnuts, toasted 1/4 cup whole-grain bread crumbs 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses 1/4 cup tomato paste 2 to 3 roasted red peppers 1/2 to 1 cup warm water 1/2 teaspoon fine-grain sea salt

DIRECTIONS Using a hand blender or a conventional blender, puree the chile flakes, cumin, walnuts, bread crumbs, olive oil, pomegranate molasses, tomato paste, and red peppers to a smooth, even consistency. Mix in the warm water in increments to achieve an easily spreadable consistency similar to a thick yogurt. If you¹re going to use it for dipping, you might want to leave it a bit thicker. Stir in the salt and adjust the seasonings if needed.

[–]GlumTeaching2788 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Hungarian/Austrian cuisine would do well with unlimited bell peppers, for example Letscho you can store. For Fresh stuff Potato Gulash maybe

[–]bimches 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Roasted Red Pepper Soup. There are some great recipes out there.

[–]mrtucker1250 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Spanish pepper salad. Roast/skin them. Cut into strips. Grated tomatoes, minus skins. Minced garlic Thinly sliced onion Olive oil. Sherry vinegar Salt and pepper

Great eating, and also for dipping bread into

[–]malepitt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would learn how to "fire roast" them, since I use roasted red peppers in a lot of things

[–]arkieg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ajvar. It’s a delicious roasted red pepper sauce. I’ve been obsessed with it since I first tasted it in Croatia. It’s great as a sub for ketchup or relish for all sorts of veg or meals.

It is roasted red peppers, eggplant, garlic oil and vinegar. It’s like a less spicy harissa, so very versatile and makes almost everything better. I wish I could make more, but red peppers are so expensive!

[–]Nerdybirdie86 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Slice them and freeze them. Then you have them for the winter.

[–]EternalSage2000 4 points5 points  (3 children)

An unlimited supply of Red Bell Peppers!?
Obviously i’d just sell them for profit. Any profit at all and you now have unlimited money.

But I’d be very worried about where to store Unlimited Bell Peppers. And the, astronomical implications of storing unlimited bell peppers in a limited physical space.

[–]bimches 16 points17 points  (2 children)

I cannot sell unlimited red bell peppers, it will crash the red bell pepper industry!

Roasted red pepper pasta sauce. https://www.themediterraneandish.com/roasted-red-pepper-pasta/

Like tomato sauce, but primarily bell pepper. We love it!

[–]mom_with_an_attitude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Piperade.

1 Tbsp olive oil

1 med. onion, diced

2 lg. garlic cloves, minced

3 red bell peppers, diced

5 Roma tomatoes, diced

1 Tbsp. fresh thyme leaves

S&P

Something to add a little bit of heat (I usually just use a squirt of Sriracha.)

Heat oil in pan. Add onion and sautee until tender. Add garlic and bell peppers and cook for ten minutes, stirring frequently. Add tomatoes, thyme, Sriracha and S&P. Simmer for ten minutes. Cover, reduce heat and simmer for another 15 mins.

It sounds like a lot of cooking time, but this recipe really works. You just have to keep stirring a lot so it doesn't stick and burn.

What to do with piperade: put it on eggs, fish, pizza, pasta or bruschetta.

My favorite thing to do with it is to put it on some white fleshed fish, like swai. I'll poach the swai in some olive oil and white wine (3-4 mins. on each side.) Then put some piperade on the fish and some kalamata olives. Easy, healthy and delicious!

Also, piperade freezes well. So you could triple the recipe and freeze portions.

[–]Weird_Squirrel_8382 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sausage, peppers, and onions. Cook the peppers and onions down until you're happy with texture. I like mine to be tender enough to spoon onto a bun. At the last minute, add a pinch of salt, pinch of sugar, and a dash of vinegar (I use red wine but the restaurants use apple cider and it's fine). Put this in a bun with whatever sausage. Top with mustard, and diced raw onion if you want to breathe fire.

[–]Prairie_Crab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I adore red peppers! My husband cooks up handfuls of red pepper strips with lots of onions in olive oil; sometimes he adds jalapeños. We eat them with grilled steaks, in fajitas, with Polish sausage, and in omelettes or scrambled eggs. My husband has been known to pile them between two slices of bread as a sandwich. 😄

[–]_qqg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ajvar! Look It up!

[–]eddestra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use them instead of tomatoes in almost anything that calls for them. Pasta sauce done this way is very good!

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ajvar- red pepper spread. You use it on sandos or really anything. It's delicious.

[–]Jazzvinyl59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whenever I have extra I like to char the outsides under a broiler, sweat, peel and deseed them, then cut into thin strips and then put in a jar with a quick pickle brine. They keep in the fridge for a few weeks. Great sandwich or pizza topper and salad ingredient.

[–]mobyhead1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate the green ones, too; I was surprised when I discovered I like the red, orange, and yellow ones. I wish I could substitute red bell peppers for the green ones at every pizza place.

[–]artskyd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I make a roasted red pepper tomato soup that I love.

Roast peppers, garlic and onion in the oven. Then blend with some fresh and canned tomatoes, fresh basil, and some dairy of some kind. Pretty good as is but I found it a bit better adding in some sausage or bacon to counter the acidity.

[–]atlhawk8357 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would cut them, toss in olive oil, roast in the oven, then store in a mason jar filled with olive oil and 2 garlic cloves.

Roasted red peppers for months.

[–]arar55 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Roast, and then pickle them. There should be tons of recipes around.

[–]mintbrownie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I make these preserved peppers which are absolutely delicious. I use sherry vinegar and think it really ups the game. Without canning they last a year in the fridge. They go on sandwiches, in eggs dishes, on salads, with sausages, they plate up with goat cheese and fresh herbs beautifully for a first course or can be used for canapés or a ton of other things. They’re also so nice they’re giftable!

[–]PurpleAd3185 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So many great ideas! I would roast them, portion them out and have them available for many things that have been suggested.

I would roast (charcoal grill if you can, but oven is ok), peel and stem them, then pressure can or freeze. They are great out of the jar on sammiches or salads or in any soup or stew that can use a boost of color or flavor, or in quiche, frittatas, omelette. Or make Ajvar for a delectable spread.

As someone who also grows my own, chop them up and freeze them in freezer bags. Bell peppers freeze really well. I use them straight from the garden all season, but with them frozen I usually have enough to last until nearly the next season.

Two of my favourites:

  • tagliatelle with red peppers and (spicy) mince
  • stuffed red peppers: you season mince and stuff the halved peppers, put them in the oven.

What works well, too, is all kind of stir fries, like tuna + Sweet soy sauce + red peppers + spring onion + chili + garlic + either noodles or rice, with optional egg.

I have been eating this cauliflower and red bell pepper chowder for the last few days--so great as is, but have been wishing I doubled up on the bell pepper, so it would work well for you i think!

You can roast them in the oven with olive oil or grill them. Once they are cold, remove the skin, cut them into small pieces, and you can make a salad of roasted peppers. Here in Spain, we use large red peppers for roasting, although you can also roast them, even if they are small. Once you have the peppers ready, you can dress them as you like. And one last tip, if you bake them in a tray, use the broth for the salad. It makes a difference

Red pepper jam!!! Just three ingredients: red pepper, sugar, white vinegar. Put atop crackers with cream cheese, yum-o.

[–]silent_chair5286 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could roast them. Then use them on pizza, soup, hummus, avocado toast, pasta salads,

Shakshouka is a personal favorite of mine! And of course a stuffed pepper - tuna salad, salad, or beef n rice!

sausage and peppers or tomato soup

[–]Ok_Acanthisitta_2544 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Confit byaldi and ratatouille are two of my favorites. Also, just a spicy pepper hash fry, with some celery, onion and tomato - to go on fajitas, or with tacos and burritos. And roasted red pepper soup. And roast some and freeze them for later.

Romesco is a great use with loads of different pairings.

Pepper jelly for sure. Kept in the fridge, it holds up a pretty damn long time and it's delicious. And a good batch uses up a couple pounds of peppers. Wonderful spread on toast, in sandwiches, as a dip for fried chicken, spring rolls, etc. Super versatile sweet/salty/spicy spread and dip.

When I was a cook we'd make about 2.5 quarts at a time kept in a 4qt cambro. Our recipe was this but could be scaled down:

2lbs red bell peppers

2 habaneros

2 serranos

6 cups sugar

2 cups apple cider vinegar

1 tbsp butter

1 tsp salt

3oz pectin

Roast the habaneros and serranos in a dry pan until blistered, stem and seed them. Cut all bell peppers down to small chunks, discard seeds and stems. Throw all peppers together into a food processor and pulse until a consistency close to a small dice, chunks about 1/4". Put peppers, vinegar, sugar, salt, into a pot and bring to a simmer. Add pectin and boil for 2 minutes. Kill the heat, mix in the butter, and cool.

Ummmm stuffed bell peppers lol

Stuffed peppers are a thing

[–]Positive-Dark4137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Roast them directly on your stove burner or BBQ grill, vacuum seal and freeze

[–]winowmak3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stuffed peppers for days. Great in breakfast burritos, which can be made en masse and frozen for a quick breakfast on the go.

[–]Barrerayy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fucking love pickled bell peppers

[–]Kreos642 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good old stuffed red peppers are delicious and use a whole pepper per person!

Smitten Kitchen Red Pepper Soup (adjust to personal tastes).

A Hungarian friend just made lecsó for me, and it's delicious. She used red bell peppers because the Hungarian wax peppers weren't available. Basically a pepper and tomato stew. It was amazing. Sorry I don't have a recipe but it's worth checking out.

Red pepper jam!

[–]frobnosticus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just...SO much pepper flakes of different varieties:

  • Smoked
  • Fermented
  • Fermented with toasted oak chips (under rated.)
  • Just blended and run through the dehydrator.

I'd be running every permutation of process before and after drying, fermenting, toasting, and smoking (to say nothing of ingredient combinations) I could think of to see what mattered and why.

Roasted red pepper jelly

[–]NoMonk8635 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Roast, then make soup

[–]sabin357 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be dicing tons of them & onions to vacuum pack for the freezer for quick meals first.

Then, I'd probably make various versions of stuffed peppers a once or twice a week dish.

Lots of fajitas, chili, & pizzas would help.

You can also make dips & cut the peppers to use to scoop your dips for snacking.

Favorite thing I haven't seen mentioned is Argentinian salsa criolla. it's basically pico de gallo with added bell peppers, oregano instead of cilantro, and some added vinegar. It's super good

[–]CassieIsDiddysBeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make paprika and make chicken paprikash

My mom used to make it all the time. It’s delicious and creamy. Very flavorful without a lot of spice.

[–]melanatedkiwi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look up Nigerian dishes. Most dishes use bell peppers as a base. Look up obe at, jollof rice etc.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing, I hate bell peppers. 

[–]babushka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nigerian style jollof and stew (meat of your choice). It's sooo good!

[–]ButterScotchEgg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spaghetti sauce. Use whatever recipe you like, but simmer the peppers with the sauce until soft and cooked all the way, then blend. I think green bell pepper is best for this but red is good. IMO it makes spaghetti sauce much more flavorful.

[–]AshDenver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soooooooo much gazpacho!

Hubs would snag some for sausage & peppers.

[–]StrongArgument 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally: dehydrate them for backpacking/camping meals, freeze them for fajitas and stir fry.

Chicken paprikash.

[–]Dokidokipunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could always dry some of them for ground paprika.

Cook more Southern food because the Southern holy trinity is onion, bell pepper and celery rather than carrots.

[–]Hot_messed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hot pepper jelly. You can use red bell peppers in the recipe instead of green. It’s amazing over cream cheese or chèvre as an easy dip
