With crisp flesh and a rich, sweet flavor, they are especially good cooked in a hot pan until their skins blister and their edges begin to caramelize.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are classic frying peppers: sauté them with olive oil and garlic, tuck them into a sandwich, or serve them alongside sausage, chicken, beans, or grilled vegetables.

Frying or roasting softens the flesh and brings out a deeper sweetness, especially where the skin blisters and lightly chars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey need very little to make a satisfying dish: olive oil, salt, and a hot pan are enough. Garlic, herbs, vinegar, or a squeeze of lemon can be added at the end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMade for the Frying Pan\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSlice the peppers lengthwise, remove the seeds, and cut them into broad strips.
