Vegetarian Pepper Recipes

I made up this recipe while trying to use up an abundance of peppers and other produce from the farmer's market. For those who like really hot chili, you may need to add a more red pepper flakes or chili powder to suit your taste. Add a bit of chopped, fresh cilantro for a garnish if desired.

Also, if you are looking for recipes that will freeze well, this one is great for freeze and reheat convenience.

I couldn't find a recipe I liked, so just made up my own.

Filling and low calorie. No meat!

This is delicious and very filling and made from farmers market finds. I love pepper and Greek spice so, on those two ingredients, do it to your taste. I hope you like this change of pace!

Ajvar is a Croatian / Serbian roasted eggplant-sweet-pepper mixture, sometimes referred to as vegetarian caviar. It can be mashed or left chunky, depending on personal taste, and served as a relish, vegetable or spread on country-style white bread like pogacha as an appetizer. Its smoky flavor is a great match for grilled or roasted meats, especially lamb.

You can vary this recipe by adding chopped hot red chiles and onion, and substituting red wine or red wine vinegar for the lemon juice. Bulgarian kiopoolu is similar but it uses green peppers instead of red and tomatoes are added.
