Although we see mainly the standard sweet capsicum – red, green, yellow, orange – capsicums come in all shapes and sizes. They also have varying heat levels – for example the banana capsicum can be quite warming.
They are ubiquitous in summer salads, either raw or delightfully roasted and skinned. Their vibrant colours bring the table to life all through Summer and Autumn. They are also wonderful receptacles and can be stuffed and baked, filled with tomatoes, feta, dried beans and lentils, or with any delightfully tasty mixture that you devise.
Capsicums mostly have heat applied directly, through stir frying, baking or grilling. It is rare to see them steamed or simmered. Even in soups they are generally sauteed or roasted before incorporation.
Capsicums relishes are great additions to the Summer table. And did you know that they can be dried in the oven for delicious snacks year round. The dried capsicums can also be added to your Wintery bakes and braises.
