Equipment
- non-stick grill pan or outdoor grill with nonstick grill basket.
- measuring cups and spoons
- chef's knife
- tongs for turning the peppers.
Ingredients
- 4 Bell Peppers, one of each color - green, red, orange and yellow
- 12 Sweet Mini Peppers, multi-colored
- 1 Yellow Onion, medium-sized
- 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- ½ teaspoon Pepper, freshly ground
- ⅓ cup Olive Oil
Instructions
- Use a non-stick indoor grill pan with a lid for this recipe, or heat an outdoor gas grill with a non-stick grill basket.
- Wash and dry all the peppers with a clean kitchen towel. Cut the large bell peppers by slicing the sides straight down from the stem to the bottom in about four pieces per pepper. Trim the inside of the white membrane and any seeds. Slice in one inch pieces and add to a large bowl. For the small sweet peppers, cut them in half horizontally, then remove the white membranes and seeds from the inside with a paring knife (or your hands), then rinse and pat dry, then add them to the bowl with the peppers. Cut the onion in half, leaving the root end intact so it's easier to slice them into thin half-moons, then add them to the bowl with the peppers. Add the salt, pepper and olive oil and toss everything to coat.
- Add the mixture to a non-stick grill pan on medium high heat, put the lid on the pan and let them cook for 5 minutes undisturbed. Remove the lid and toss and turn the mixture with tongs, then put the lid back on and lower the heat to medium. Let the onions and peppers continue to cook for another 5 minutes. Alternatively, if you are using a gas grill, use the same method of cooking, but use an nonstick grill basket set inside the hot grill.
- Transfer the peppers and onions to a serving plate and serve them hot, warm or room temperature.
