Green bell peppers are good

Pepper steak stir fry is here to convert the green bell pepper skeptics.

Counterpoint: Green Bell Peppers Are Good

Ah, the green bell pepper. So maligned, so detested, constantly passed over for its sweeter sibling, Red. Green bell peppers need a better P.R. person, and for that we recommend Eric Kim. His pepper steak stir-fry lets them shine (look at how that Kelly green color pops against the soy-glazed steak). The peppers' grassy, bitter flavors are necessary to counter the equally strong flavors of garlic, ginger and black pepper. If Nigella Lawson — a self-professed green bell pepper avoider — is excited about this recipe, we think you will be, too.

You could also add some pepper slices to Sohla El-Waylly's taco salad, her take on the Mexican American classic with Disneyland roots. All the hits are here: pinto beans, shredded iceberg lettuce, grated Cheddar, crushed Fritos. Serve with your favorite hot sauce; a Mickey Mouse hat is optional.

If you're planning ahead for your Independence Day cookout, we have plenty of recipe ideas for you: huli huli chicken with a salty-sweet teriyaki glaze. No-cook white bean caprese salad, equally delightful as a side or a meatless main. And Melissa Clark's new recipe for cherry pie, which turns whichever cherries you can get your hands on — sweet, sour or frozen — into a picture-perfect pie that belongs on a cartoon windowsill.
