Banana Peppers

Nancy E. · 07-20-2005, 09:51 AM

Our Banana Peppers just started coming up in our garden. Does anyone have any good suggestions or recipe's for these? Thanks in advance.

I never had banana peppers until 10 years ago when we were visiting my Aunt Shirley and Uncle Paul at Cape Cod. He had a garden with banana peppers and always fixed eggs for breakfast. So, he yells upstairs and asks who wants banana peppers in their eggs. I decided to try it and OMG I fell in love with them. I eat them in eggs, in salad, I eat them on sandwiches (breadless, lc bread or lc tortilla, of course!). Heck, I'll even just eat 'em plain. I bet they'd be great grilled with a steak! MMMMM good!

Sending love and kisses to my dear departed Uncle Paul......

I found these recipes- looks interesting!

STUFFED BANANA PEPPERS 1

1 sm. chopped tomato
1 sm. chopped onion

2 c. grated Cheddar cheese
1 sm. jalapeno pepper, chopped
2 tbsp. sweet pepper relish (use Mt Olive or just omit?)
1/4 lb. bacon
1 doz. banana peppers, with seeds removed

Wash peppers. Make slice down on side and remove seeds. Mix all ingredients except banana pepper and bacon. Stuff peppers, wrap bacon slice around. Bake at 375 degrees until bacon is cooked.

Wash and core peppers. Blend 8 ounce cream cheese with 12 ounce pimento cheese. Stuff peppers with cheese mixture using pastry bag. Cover with plastic wrap and chill several hours. Slice 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick to serve.

Hi,

I grow lots of banana and jalopena peppers. I love them raw with any type of meat, stir fried with zuchhini, onion, and mushrooms, chopped in salads and I always make homemake salsa every year wuith them.

Peppers and eggs, fried in olive oil. Peppers and sausage. Anything you use a regular pepper for, you can use banana peppers.

We love banana peppers too! Our crop wasn't as good this year as last year.

I use them when I cook up ground beef and like was mentioned above, just about anything you use regular bell peppers in.

If you find you are getting an abundance of them, you can just slice or chop them up and put in a freezer bag and they freeze well--great to use in cooking later.

I love them in stir fry, eggs, with mushrooms and onions over steak.
And you can leave the seeds in and they work fine that way too.
Also great in salads.
Enjoy!

The first time I ever ate/heard of them was when I lived in New Orleans- there was a pizza place that put them on the pizzas...

if you make a LC pizza- they'd be good on there!

Thank you everyone for the great ideas. I was away on a mini vacation and did not get the replys until today. Tonight I will be trying some of these. Thanks also for the tip on freezing them. I had not idea you could do that.

I buy a beef roast and put in the crock pot on low for 8 hours and empty sliced banana peppers and water in there and also add some Hiden Valley Ranch Dressing Mix and a little pepper and salt to taste. The meat just comes off shredded and is wonderful heated up(I usually top with mozzarella)
