Marinated Red Peppers With Cumin Food

MARINATED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place the whole red, green and yellow peppers in the oven directly on the rack. Roast for about 15 minutes, turning if needed, until the skin is well scorched. Immediately place in a bowl covered with plastic wrap or in a paper bag, and allow to cool.
• Remove the skins from the peppers by rubbing with your hands, and rinse under cold water. Cut in half, remove stem and seeds, then cut into strips.
• Place peppers into a medium serving bowl, and stir in the garlic, vinegar, oil, basil, parsley, salt and pepper.

MARINATED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place peppers on a rimmed baking sheet; rub with 1 tablespoon oil. Roast until peppers are soft and skins have split, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer peppers to a medium bowl. Cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let peppers steam 20 minutes.
• Peel peppers, slice in half lengthwise, and remove ribs and seeds. Cut into 1-inch-wide strips and return to bowl. Add lemon zest and juice, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and 3 tablespoons oil and toss.

MARINATED ROASTED RED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Lay peppers on their sides on racks of gas burners and turn flames on moderately high. Roast, turning frequently with tongs, until skins are blackened, 5 to 8 minutes. (Or broil on rack of a broiler pan about 4 inches from heat, turning frequently, 15 to 20 minutes.)
• Transfer to a bowl, then cover, and let steam 10 minutes. Alternatively, place peppers in resealable plastic bags to steam. Peel peppers and discard stems and seeds. Cut lengthwise into 1-inch-wide strips.
• In a bowl, place cleaned peppers. Douse with balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper, to taste.

MARINATED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450˚ F. Put the peppers on a parchment-lined baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Roast until the skins are charred in spots and the peppers are tender, 20 to 30 minutes (the Italian peppers may be done before the bell peppers). Remove the peppers to a large bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let the peppers steam so the skins loosen, at least 20 minutes.
• Carefully peel the skins off the peppers, scraping away any stuck bits using a paring knife. Lay the peppers flat on a cutting board and tear them open like a book; remove the stems and scrape away the seeds, then tear the peppers into long strips, about 1 1/2 inches wide. Transfer the strips to a medium bowl.
• Add the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil, the vinegar, oregano, basil, garlic and a big pinch of salt to the peppers; toss. Transfer to a small jar and refrigerate at least 3 hours or up to 1 week.

MARINATED RED PEPPERS WITH GARLIC AND MARJORAM

Steps:

• Heat broiler. Place bell peppers on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil, turning occasionally, until skins are blackened and blistered all over, 14-17 minutes. Transfer peppers to a large bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and sweat 15 minutes.
• Remove skins and seeds from peppers; discard. Tear peppers into about 2"-wide strips. Toss in a clean large bowl with garlic, oil, vinegar, and 1 Tbsp. marjoram; season with salt. Let sit at least 20 minutes and up to 4 hours.
• Just before serving, taste peppers and season with more vinegar and/or salt if needed. Scatter remaining 1 Tbsp. marjoram over top.
