Potato Zucchini Red Bell Pepper With Bacon And Herbs Baked In A Pot Food

SPICY ZUCCHINI, PEPPER AND POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Char sweet frying pepper over open flame on stovetop or under hot broiler with oven door cracked to allow steam to escape. Once the skin is evenly charred and blackened all-over, place the pepper in a bowl and cover with plastic until pepper is cool enough to handle. Wipe or scrape the char off the pepper removing the skins. Seed the pepper and thinly slice.
• Heat 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium to medium-high heat. When the oil ripples, add the zucchini, chiles, frying peppers, onions, potatoes, garlic, salt, pepper, rosemary, thyme and saute the vegetables until tender-crisp, 12 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the tomatoes and roasted peppers and allow the tomatoes to breakdown a few minutes. Stir in enough stock to desired consistency - as thin or thick as you like.
• Cool completely and store for make-ahead meal.
• Reheat over moderate heat, stirring occasionally. Serve in shallow bowls with shredded or torn sweet basil and crusty, warm bread.

• Place the zucchini, onions, and bell peppers in a shallow baking sheet. Combine the olive oil and balsamic vinegar and drizzle over the vegetables. Sprinkle the chopped garlic, basil, and oregano over the top. Add the Cavendar's Greek Seasoning to taste.
• Place the vegetables on a hot grill with tongs. (If you'd like you can use a grilling basket to keep from losing any of the vegetables through the grill!).
• Cook on both sides for 2 to 3 minutes (or until they are marked) over a medium hot grill. Brush the vegetables with any remaining oil/vinegar mix when you turn them.
• Serve hot or cold!

POTATO, ZUCCHINI, RED BELL PEPPER, WITH BACON AND HERBS BAKED IN A POT.

Steps:

• Preparation: Peel potato, carrot, garlic and onion. Take the seeds out of pepper. Wash all the veggies: carrot, onion, zucchini, potatoes, garlic and dill (parsley). Shred the carrot, chop the onion and pepper, cut in mid-sized pieces potato, zucchini, chop the herbs Set ½ of onion and carrot aside Mix everything else: onion and potato, zucchini and carrot, herbs. Add salt and pepper. Slice the bacon. (If you put the other meat: pork, chicken, beef- prepare it). Take your baking pots: put bacon (or other meat on the bottom), then add your veggies. Remember you set aside the onion and some carrot. Take it and braise it for 5 minutes in a frying pan. In 5 minutes add some sour cream / or mayo/ and add 1 cup of water, pinch of salt and pepper, braise for 2-3 min. Pour the sauce you just cooked into the baking pots. (If you want to add the meatballs instead of bacon or any other meat put them on top of the veggies) Preheat the oven at 375F. Set your pots to bake for 30-45 minutes. (Occasionally check the potato if it's ready and check if there's enough water in your pots). 15 minutes before taking the pots out- finely chop the garlic and put a little bit of garlic in each pot. When you turn the oven off add the cheese on top of your baked dish and close the lids let the cheese melt. Be careful when taking the pots out as they are hot. I serve the dish directly in the pots, but give the guests a spoon and a plate, if the guest wishes to eat from the plat and not the pot. ***Tip from Helen*** You can cook this dish in a baking dish, but I like separate small baking pots more, they are just more authentic and fun! Enjoy your summer delicious baked veggies!
