MEDITERRANEAN ROASTED TRI-COLOR BELL PEPPER SALAD

Steps:

• BROIL the bell pepper halves for about 10 minutes or until the skin is blistered and blackened.
• Place the bell peppers in a clean paper bag, seal bag and allow peppers to "sweat" for 10 minutes.
• In the meantime, heat up 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a frying pan and sautè the onion.
• Fry for approximately 5-6 minutes until softened and translucent.
• Remove pan from heat and set aside. Important: *Reserve* olive oil in the pan.
• Next, take the bell peppers out of the paper bag and if cool enough to handle, peel the skins.
• Discard the skins and slice the peppers into thin strips.
• Place the bell peppers, the cooked onions and any remaining olive oil from the pan into a shallow salad bowl.
• Add the crushed garlic and pour on the remaining olive oil.

TRI-COLOUR SWEET PEPPER SOUP

Steps:

• NOTE: Directions are for the original Sweet Pepper Soup. Sometimes, however, I like to "mix things up". For my second version, I reduce the chicken broth to 4 cups, add 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes (I use Del Monte Petite Diced Tomatoes), 1-2 teaspoons of Dijon Mustard, and 1 cup of sour cream. It is a thicker, heartier soup that is equally enjoyable, just different.
• Melt one tablespoon of the butter over medium heat in a large Dutch Oven.
• Sweat the onions for 5 minutes until translucent and slightly yellow. I keep them covered during this process. If necessary, add additional tablespoon of butter so the onions do not burn.
• Add the three different coloured peppers, stirring well, to mix the soft onions and butter with the peppers. Set timer for 15 minutes; every 5 minutes, stir the peppers and onions and "taste test" the peppers to YOUR degree of doneness. We really enjoy a very soft pepper so it takes the full 15 minutes to achieve that texture.
• Add the six cups of chicken broth and the teaspoon of paprika and stir well, until combined. ( if using the can of diced tomatoes, use FOUR cups of chicken broth and the can of diced tomatoes).
• Bring the soup to a boil, reduce down to a simmer and cover. Every 5 minutes, gently stir the soup. Simmer for 30 minutes.
• If you choose to make this a richer soup, use an immersion stick blender to blend up the soup until it is coloured flecks of the peppers. Add the sour cream and Dijon mustard, stir well until heated. DO NOT BOIL!
• Serve immediately.

PAN FRIED MEATLOAF IN TRICOLOR PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Remove core and seeds from peppers. Slice into 1 inch rings and place on nonstick baking sheet. You should get about 3 rings per pepper. In a large bowl mix together beef, turkey, bread, 1/2 cup of the tomatoes, garlic, egg, onion, chopped sage, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and season with salt and pepper. Press meatloaf mixture evenly into pepper rings. In a skillet over medium-high heat, add oil. Saute meatloaf rings on both sides until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Add remaining tomatoes to skillet and bake until cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat 1-inch vegetable oil until a deep-fry thermometer reaches 325 degrees F. Drop sage leaves into oil and fry until golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Garnish meatloaf rings with fried sage leaves.

TRICOLOR PICKLED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• Broil peppers in batches, skin sides up, on a broiler pan about 4 inches from heat until skins are blistered and lightly charred, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer peppers to a large bowl and cover. Let peppers steam until cool, then peel and separate by color.
• Sterilize jars and lids.
• Bring vinegar, water, sugar, salt, garlic, and peppercorns to a boil in a 3-quart saucepan. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes.

Tuck 2 garlic cloves (from pickling liquid) and 1 rosemary sprig into side of each jar. Fill jars with pickling liquid, leaving 1/4inch of space at top, then run a thin knife between vegetables and jar to eliminate air bubbles.
