Dan and Robin’s Melrose Peppers
Stuffed Melrose Peppers (try and get the larger “Grandpa Mario’s” Melrose Pepper for this dish)
- Stuff pepper w/ground hot Italian sausage (uncooked); add any of your favorite spices, onions, basil, etc.
- Sautee in olive oil and garlic until pepper becomes soft to touch.
- Prepare your favorite pasta gravy
- Place sautéed peppers in frying pan (drain oil first) and half fill with gravy. Sautee again until hot and steamy and sausage is fully cooked. Salt to taste.
- Eat plain or put over pasta or place in warm Italian bread – yummy!
Eggs and Melrose Peppers
- Slice and sauté peppers in olive oil until skin starts turning brown (becomes somewhat crispy)
- Warm up Italian of French bread
- Place sautéed peppers in scrambled eggs. Salt to taste
- Serve on hot bread (if you want you can cover with a little of your favorite gravy – zesty!)
Plain Sautéed Melrose Peppers
- Sautee whole peppers in olive oil until soft and turning somewhat brown, add onion and garlic if you want to. Salt to taste.
- Eat plain or add to any pasta dish – delicious!
Also great in Italian Chile!
Note: Margaret at Country Farm Market has a homemade marinara sauce that would be great!
Note: The red Melrose peppers are the sweetest, but the green are also great!
