What to cook with green peppers in?

51 replies

I bought some green peppers to put in a jalfrezi but every recipe I came across has red peppers in so I used red instead. What can I do with the green ones? I would put them in a chilli but I don’t fancy that. TIA.

I know people that will only eat red but I don't really notice much difference especially if they're cooked. I think people are just prejudiced against green peppers :-(

This paneer and chickpea stir fry. It’s fast and very tasty.

This looks delicious.

Make a chilli! Recipes usually ask for green pepper. Or fajitas along with another colour pepper to add some variety

I like them in a tuna pasta salad. I ripped off the recipe from an M&S ready meal.

Diced green pepper
Finely Diced onion (mild white, red or spring onion)
Diced cucumber
Rinsed red kidney beans
Tuna chunks or steak
Cooked pasta (any shape works - penne, farfalle, rigatoni)

Mix together with honey dijon or wholegrain mustard dressing. Lots of salt and pepper.

I don't measure any of it, just eyeball it and adjust quantities according to what I have. It's a favourite summer meal here.

Green peppers are lovely in anything Chinese. Stir fried with any sauce, delicious in beef and black bean sauce.

It really is. And don’t skip the pickle.

I don’t cook but I love green peppers so much, my dh puts them in anything and everything.

Any colour pepper can be used in almost all recipes- don’t have to stick to the colour specified!

Curries, tomato based pasta dishes, chilli, stuffed peppers, fajitas, stir fry, fried rice…

This. ^

Fajitas

Oblomov23 · 19/02/2023 18:11

Stuffed peppers, or with a rice, or couscous

Jamie Oliver green chili which is with pork mince, green peppers and green chillies. A bit different and very nice

I agree with this, but Jamie Oliver's green chilli recipe specifies green peppers and is delicious.

Sabzi - I use Madhur Jaffrey's recipe! I thought I hated green peppers but I now buy them to make this regularly.

Any excuse for pickled red onions - love em.

As @DilkushaKitchen says, holy trinity base (green pepper, celery, onion) so excellent for cajun food. I tend to save the green ones for prawn creole, Delicious, and the left overs freeze well, so I can cook a huge batch and have freezer meals.

White chilli is made with white meat such as chicken or pork, and green chilllies and peppers rather than red.

Made with Lau is great for Chinese meals, here's his black pepper beef, which uses all colour peppers.
