Description:
I was obviously inspired by “Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers” line today.

However, I do love peppers and pickled peppers make for a delicious antipasto or pizza topping, wouldn’t you agree? Delicious also in pasta sauce, or wherver you would otherwise use peppers.

Ingredients:
1 kg mixed red and yellow peppers
4 basil leaves
2 bay leaves
5 black peppercorns
2 cloves of peeled garlic
1 pint white wine vinegar

Directions:
Preheat the grill to hot. Halve and seed the peppers. Place them skin up and grill for 15 minutes until charred.

Place the peppers in a plastic bag to sweat for 10 minutes. Peel the skin off. Slice the peppers into thick strips then set aside to cool.

Gently bruise the basil leaves between your fingers and put in a sterilized jar with the peppers, peppercorns, herbs and garlic. Add the vinegar.

Seal and use within 6 months.

delete reply stormlizard wrote on Nov 12, ’09 Yes, provided it does not contain American proccessed cheese or lousey English factory produced rubbish.

edit delete reply cuh888 wrote on Nov 12, ’09 stormlizard said Yes, provided it does not contain American proccessed cheese or lousey English factory produced rubbish.  get good quality mozzarella..and you will be fine…I think you will not have a problem there in your country with cheese… many a time here, I could groan over the cheese selection and price (how to balance what I want with what is in my pocketbook) 🙂

delete reply stormlizard wrote on Nov 12, ’09 cuh888 said I could groan over the cheese selection and price (how to balance what I want with what is in my pocketbook) 🙂  I also groaned a lot in Thailand, nothing worth eating could be found, at least not in Supermarkets, all they had was lousey American proccessed stuff or very poor quality tasteless junk exported by Danish “Arla foods” I don’t think Thais go much for cheese.

edit delete reply cuh888 wrote on Nov 12, ’09 stormlizard said I don’t think Thais go much for cheese.  hmm..come to think of it, I can’t remember any Thai food I ate which had any cheese at all…
