Les Poivrons Rouges de Maggie
(Maggie’s Roasted Red Peppers)


Bistro Cooking
by Patricia Wells, 1989, Workman

“I’m not sure why, but I always feel just a bit more secure when there’s a jar
of what I call ‘Maggie’s Peppers’ – a blend of sweet red peppers, hot peppers,
garlic, and olive oil, cooked to a melting tenderness – sitting on the top shelf
of my refrigerator. I’ve found so many uses for these sweet, pungent peppers
that I sometimes wonder what I did before my friend Maggie Shapiro made
them for me one Saturday in the spring.
I find these peppers are delicious served hot (they’re super over grilled tuna),
and they’re an essential ingredient in Pan Bagna… They’re also delicious
all on their own, as a chilled condiment, or can be tossed into warm pasta.
I can’t always find hot peppers in the market, so I often substitute hot pepper flakes. The hot peppers, of course, can be added to taste. The natural oils
from the pepper mingle with the olive oil to make for a lovely, beautiful
preserve. The peppers can be stored, well sealed and covered with liquid,
for several weeks.”

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
2. Seed the chiles and slice them into thin strips, removing the white
ribs on the inside. (When preparing chiles be sure to wear rubber
gloves to protect your hands.)
3. Layer the chiles, bell peppers, garlic, and olive oil in a very large,
shallow baking dish. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake until the
peppers are quite soft, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Uncover and con-
tinue baking until the peppers are just slightly charred and very
soft, about 45 more minutes.
4. Serve hot as a side dish, or store, covered, in a large jar and
serve chilled, as a condiment.
