Family Favourites: Sauteed Peppers

Eat the rainbow, soft and sweet. And all it involves is a simple wash, cut, slice and dice.

Sauteed peppers are amazing. Cooked low and slow, they transform into soft and juicy nuggets of flavour, simply cooked in olive oil and salt. 

After making this 3 times in one week, I know we’re hooked and it’ll become one of our staples. Like pancakes.

To prepare, I wash the peppers and make a clean slice off the head

Top Tip: An easy way to remove the cluster of seeds in bell peppers is to slice the head off, remove the seeds and rinse the insides out.

This is followed by halving and slicing. I dice the strips and then they are ready for sauteeing.

I use a small portion of green bell peppers compared with red, orange and yellow. the green peppers have a peculiar taste that aren’t exactly sweet. Still, I like their flavour, and the hint of ‘green’ they bring.

  1. I love peppers. The colours, the shape, the taste. Funny how the green ones are quite different. Almost aromatic. I eat them raw mostly, .

  2. I’m going to try this.

    My favourite is I add green pepper, onions, spring onions, green beans, green peas, and carrots to vegetable oil and add tomato paste. I’m addicted to this too. I use it to eat grilled fish, spaghetti or rice.
