  1. How?
    I just had one of the stuffed peppers I made last night for breakfast
    m.m.m.m.m.m.m. but some of the peelings are coming off the peppers and
    are not pleasant to deal with.
    Do I plunge them in hot water and peel like tomatoes or what?

    TIA

    I usually singe the skin over a gas burner (tongs or a fork come in very
    handy for this process) and then put the pepper into a plastic bag. After
    3-5 minutes you should be able to slip the skin off. What about blanching?
    I've never tried that.

    Jacques Pepin says that he always peels his green peppers, and I am thinking
    he is referring only for salads, and I don't think this would work for
    your stuffed peppers; but then again, it might?

    Thanks for your help. I think I'll start experimenting and see which
    works for me.

    (weird trimming on my part, sorry) One time I made stuffed peppers
    and for some odd reason they fell apart during cooking. Never had
    that happen before or since. Now, I'm thinking that if you were to
    peel them before stuffing and baking, they might fall apart.

    What I did was put them all into a pot and add however much
    chicken stock and made stuffed pepper soup. Boy was that ever
    good.

    Never thought of that. These held up very nice and were not over
    cooked. They still had some body to them.
    The peelings didn't come off all of them, so I think I'll leave well
    enough alone.

    That sounds good. I'll have to try that with the leftover peppers next
    time
