Sweet and Sour Peppers
Author Notes: One of my favorite jobs was working for a corporate caterer in Stamford, CT. This recipe is based on a dish we occasionally served at Friday Lunch. - mrslarkin
Serves 3 or more
- 3 red bell peppers, seeded
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine, balsamic, or sherry vinegar
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar or honey
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher or sea salt, or more to taste
- a few fresh thyme sprigs, or more to taste
- Slice peppers into strips, about ¾ inches thick. Place on sheet pan and roast in a hot oven until just warm. Don’t char. You want to retain some crunch. Set aside. When cool, remove to a large mixing bowl.
- Whisk together olive oil, vinegar, sugar and salt. Pour over peppers and toss. Check for salt. Place in shallow serving bowl.
- Strip off the thyme leaves and sprinkle over the peppers.

My husband grew up in Litchfield, which is vastly different now than when he was a lad. Love your flavors, colors, and crunch.

These sound delicious! Btw, I love your neck of the woods...my husband grew up in Pound Ridge - in the Hamlet - and it was my home away from home in college.

Thanks, gingerroot! Wow, you guys really flew the coop! LOVE the Hamlet. We live in Scotts Corners, another pretty 'hood.

I remember going to the Scotts Corners market. Honolulu is actually my hometown - Pound Ridge is so nice, I'm lucky I was able to convince my husband to relocate!
