Sweet Bell Pepper Sauté
The current trend in food preparation is to allow the true flavor of the product itself to come through, enhanced yet not changed by the addition of seasonings, spices and herbs. This recipe is similar to a stir-fry; however, the pure flavor of sweet bell peppers comes through entirely.
2-3 Cups Asst. Sweet Bell Pepper Strips (green, red or yellow cut into small pieces or strips)
2 Tbsp. Olive Oil
1 Clove Garlic (crushed & minced)
1 Tsp. Basil, Oregano or Mint (fresh or dried)
1/2 Tsp. Ginger (fresh grated or ground)
1/4 Tsp. Salt (to taste)
1/4 Tsp. Pepper (to taste)
Heat olive oil in a skillet, wok, or fry pan over medium heat. Add pepper strips and sauté‘, stirring frequently until the peppers begin to wilt but are still somewhat firm. Add salt & pepper to taste. Add fresh or dried herbs last and stir until peppers are well coated. Serve as a side dish or as a fabulous topping over a bed of rice or pasta. Serves 4-6.
