| The most common sweet pepper is the Bell Pepper, which comes in
green, red or yellow. When buying fresh peppers (and this goes for
sweet as well as hot peppers) look for smooth unblemished skin that
are heavy for their size .
To prepare bell peppers for cooking or eating, chop in half,
remove top stems and inside white veins and seeds. The rest is
usable. Chop according to your needs. You can slice them into
half circles, dice
or chop.
If you want pepper rings, or if you plan on stuffing your peppers,
you will want to keep them intact. Simply slice off the top and
carefully reach inside and remove the seeds and white veins )
it help to rinse the insides with cold water to get all the seeds
out). Your pepper is now ready for slicing or stuffing.
