(Oct. 7, 2021) While I’ve been enjoying cooking year-round with sweet bell peppers expertly grown in greenhouses in Holland ever since they became a reliable supermarket commodity, I tend to make a lot of pepper recipes at this time of the year because I love the way the red, yellow, and orange colors mimic that of autumn’s leaves changing colors.
Nantucket may not sport the vibrant leaf hues of the rest of the New England states but that lacking in our landscape can easily be compensated for on plate and palate. Furthermore, this is the time of year when the harvest of locally grown peppers peaks, making it easy to understand why Mother Goose’s Peter Piper must have wanted to pick a peck of pickled peppers.
My favorite pepper recipes do not involve pickling nor sourcing pecks of peppers and often take their inspiration from lush Southern Italian dishes. Many of my entertaining menus kick off with some sort of tasty one-or-two-bite crostini and in October my crostini are usually topped with a tangle of sautéed and caperlaced red and yellow sweet pepper strips dotted with creamy Gorgonzola cheese and baked just long enough to warm the pepper topping and melt the cheese.
