Hey everyone, it's Natasha of Natashaskitchen.com and today we're making
marinated mini bell peppers. These are so easy and they always disappear fast.
There's no seating, no slicing, no dicing, and they can be made ahead, so they're
perfect for parties. We'll start with one and a half pounds of mini bell peppers.
Rinse and pat dry the peppers then drizzle with half a Tbsp of olive oil
and toss to coat. Grill the peppers over medium-low heat about two minutes
per side or five to six minutes total. You want to see the brown grill marks
start to form and you're really just softening them at this point. You can
saute them on a skillet until they're golden but keep in mind they do splatter
a little bit more on the stovetop so use a splatter guard. Transfer those to a
bowl and set them aside to cool while you make your marinade. I just love the
sweet smoky flavor of grilled bell peppers. To make the marinade, combine one
cup of cold water, 1 and 1/4 cups of white vinegar, 6 Tbsp of sugar 2 Tbsp
of sea salt and 6 minced garlic cloves. Stir that together until
the sugar and salt dissolve. Now finely chop 1 small bunch of fresh parsley.
You can use either flat leaf parsley or the curled Italian style.
Now finely chop 1 bunch of fresh dill. I'm usually using equal parts of parsley
and dill but if you have more dill or more parsley, it'll still work great.
Now we're ready to put everything together. In a half gallon jar or similar
container add half of your fresh herbs to the bottom, then tightly pack in all
of your peppers. Add your marinade, top with the remaining herbs and any leftover
marinade. Take a moment to admire your beautiful peppers then marinate for 24
hours in the refrigerator before serving. I just happen to have some marinating in
the fridge overnight already so we're gonna go right into the taste test and I
cannot wait. And we love serving these with mashed potatoes. It is the best
flavor combination, I'm telling you. These are always a hit at parties. They
disappear fast so it's smart to make a double batch. I'll just tell you that
right now - you've been warned. Okay, here we go.
Mmm-hmm... Wow! These will make your taste buds dance.
They are so flavorful each one is delicious and putting them on the grill
like that adds a smoky sweetness to them that is just irresistible. I love that
these have this great garden feel to them. They're loaded with fresh parsley
and dill. These are so good, they're kind of old-school but seriously fantastic
and a keeper of a recipe. This recipe has been a family favorite for a long time
and it was inspired by a recipe by my friend Natalia
from Momsdish.com. So thank you so much for sharing this goodness with all of us.
