Marinated Red Bell Peppers
Description
The recipe for Marinated Red Bell Peppers involves cooking sliced red bell peppers combined with onions, garlic, tomato puree, and a marinade made from vinegar, sugar, and seasoned with whole black peppercorns and bay leaves. The peppers initially are not fully covered by liquid but shrink during cooking, absorbing the flavorful marinade. This process softens the texture of the peppers while infusing them with a bright, acidic, and gently sweet profile, complemented by the savory notes of garlic and spice.
After cooking, the peppers can be placed hot into sterilized jars for canning or stored directly in the refrigerator. The canned jars are inverted to ensure a tight seal and can be stored in a cool place for up to a year, making this preparation both a ready-to-eat side dish and a preserved condiment. The marinated peppers can be served chilled or at room temperature.
Ingredients
- 15 red bell pepper medium
- 2 onion large
- 15 oz tomato puree (or tomato sauce)
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup vinegar
- 2 tbsp salt
- 2 cups vegetable oil
- 20 black peppercorns whole
- 10 bay leaf
- 6 garlic thinly sliced, cloves
Instructions
Marinating
- Slice the bell peppers into long strips and cut onions into half rings.
- Combine all the ingredients together in a large pot. The peppers will not be covered by liquid at first, but they will eventually shrink and result in the perfect amount of marinade.
- Bring it to boil and cook for about 10 minutes, until the peppers turn soft. Store in the refrigerator or can the peppers (instructions below).
Canning
- Sterilize the jars and preheat the oven to 215° F. Wash the jars and lids and place them in the oven for about 15 minutes or until they are completely dry. With the help of a canning funnel, place peppers into jars, while they are still hot.
- Close the lids very tightly. Flip the jars upside down and keep them standing upside down for several hours to seal the lid. Store in a cool place for up to a year.
