Roasted Peppers

Roasted Peppers With Balsamic

Balsamic Red Pepper Salad

 

My main interest in life is food. I love to grow it, source it, buy it, prepare it, cook it, feed my family and friends, pass on successful recipes and suppliers, talk endlessly about it, drool over it, and most of all eat and enjoy it! Perhaps you do to? Today is a hot, sultry day. A perfect day for a cold platter and some chilled white wine. This evening we shall eat some lovely roasted red peppers with onions and garlic and basil . I shall serve this with a crisp green salad. The herbs are from the garden (all grown in pots), and the lovely red peppers, onions and lemon are from the local farmer’s market.
