A versatile bell pepper appetizer for sandwiches, salads and other dishes

We are used to stuffing peppers, canning them, cutting them into raw salads, and baking them. But peppers can also be used as a preparation for many other dishes. Today, FoodOboz shares the idea of cooking bell peppers from Svitlana Levitskaya, which the food expert posted on her Instagram page. This pepper can be consumed as an independent dish, or added to salads and sandwiches.

Ingredients:

• Bell peppers - 0.5 kg
• Parsley - a bunch
• Balsamic vinegar - 15 ml
• Oil - 15 ml
• Garlic - 4-5 cloves
• Salt, pepper - to taste

Method of preparation:

1. Bake bell peppers for 30 minutes at 200 degrees (the skin should start to darken). Cover and leave to cool.
2. Peel the pepper from the skin and seeds if you baked it whole. Cut it into petals.
3. Chop the herbs.
4. Cut the garlic into thin slices.
5. Layer: bell pepper, salt, ground pepper, garlic, and herbs, sprinkle with oil and balsamic vinegar. Repeat until you run out of peppers.

Leave it for a few hours to bring out the flavor. This pepper can be stored in the refrigerator for 5-7 days.

Difference in the properties of pepper, depending on the color:

Green peppers

Unfortunately, green peppers do not contain some of the nutrients that red peppers do, but this does not mean that green peppers are not healthy.

The green color means that the pepper is rich in chlorophyll – extremely beneficial for hormonal balance, blood quality, and cardiovascular health. In addition, green peppers also contain potassium and many vitamins.

Yellow pepper

If you want to enjoy the taste of fresh, crunchy peppers, yellow peppers are the best option. Yellow peppers have a neutral flavor, which is why many people like them.

Red pepper

Red pepper is a fully ripe pepper, so it has a characteristic sweet aftertaste.

Red peppers contain a lot of vitamin A and lutein. This makes it extremely beneficial for eye health.
