Title: Roasted Red Peppers
Post by: triciaflower on September 17, 2012, 06:41:02 PM

Red peppers are plentiful and on SALE! I roasted them and have decided to freeze some for later use. Other than the obvious spaghetti sauce and roasted red pepper soup, what should I make?

 :confused:

I was always curious to try this sauce:

I make a delicious grilled sandwich with mozzarella cheese, artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers, and a bit of baby spinach. It's especially good on rosemary bread.

(Sometimes I actually sub a rosemary and garlic white bean spread for the mozzarella to make it vegan. Also yummy!)

I chopped/mashed the roasted peppers up pretty fine and mixed them with chopped artichoke and some Parmesan last weekend for a dip.  People raved.  It was pretty good.

I just slice 'em up and dip them in hummus. Mmmmmm.

Ooooh! Make hummus with them!

I put some on an open-faced chicken sandwich with pepper jack cheese on ezekiel bread. It was tasty with my creamy green chili soup.

Dip sounds good!

I love roasted red peppers.  My dad used to make an awesome sandwich with ciabatta, fresh mozz, proscuitto, basil leaves, olive oil, salt, and pepper.  Yum.

Also, am I alone in thinking that they smell like pot when they are roasting?  Or does anyone else think that?

We make a fabulous hazelnut/roasted red pepper sauce that goes well with pork. I can post the recipe if you like.

I like them pureed and spread on sandwiches too.
