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. |
