How I cook with bell peppers
For ajvar the peppers are roasted until the skin turns black: then it peels off easily and the flesh stays juicy. Roasted peppers also go into Bulgarian kyopolou with eggplant and tomatoes and into a roasted bell pepper salad. My lecho is just the way I remember it from childhood: peppers, onion and tomato.
If you want a main dish
Stuffed peppers with pork and rice in tomato sauce, ajapsandali — a spiced Caucasian eggplant stew ready in 50 minutes — and Turkish menemen, eggs with tomatoes and peppers in half an hour.
