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? Dee Dee

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.
