recipes to use up my tomatoes and peppers

I don't have a recipe, but my brain instantly thought Salsa!!

I though of spaghetti sauce, too! Can it up in jars and you could have a head start on Christmas presents!

If you have room in the freezer, you can freeze roasted peppers. Or, make (and freeze) tomato sauce.

Add in any combination of onion, cucumber, zucchini, eggplant, olives, or other peppers, olive oil and vinegar or lemon juice and you're most of the way to:

* greek salad
* gazpacho
* fresh salsa
* ratatouille
* tomato sauce
* delicious home made pizza

Unfortunately I don't usually use recipes when cooking from the garden; I'll just improvise with whatever is on hand. But if you look for Mediterranean dishes, you should find plenty.

do soup! yummy yummy yummy. or a roasted tomato and olive oil pasta salad. bake a loaf of sliced itallian bread drizzled in olive oil pepper and salt and then slice tomatoes and place on top of bread. its really good with soups and pastas. pepper and tomato omelete, make tomato juice for bloody marys or to drink like a V8. stir fry,use the peppers for a itallian beef and pepper sanwhich

Pasta sauce or salsa for sure!

Also you could try a tomato, pepper, chicken & brown rice recipe:

1. Boil water for rice.
2. Saute the peppers in a couple tablespoons e.v.o.o., along with minced garlic, finely chopped parsley, salt & pepper.
3. Allow the peppers to cook a few minutes, then add in (x) boneless skinless chicken breast (depending on how many you're cooking for).
4. Season the chicken, brown on both sides, and when fully cooked add in your blended fresh tomatoes and 1 can of tomato paste.
5. Drop you rice, and follow directions on bag of rice.
6. Have sauce, peppers, & chicken mixture start to boil, then reduce heat. and allow the sauce become thickened.
7. Place a generous scoop of sauce & one portion of chicken over 1 cup portion of brown rice.

Hope that helps!

Omgosh! Sooo many ideas Salsa, stew, ratatouille, soups, pasta...

If you like eggs, try this recipe out. Add an additional pepper if you like and use 3 large tomatoes with their juices. Makes a ton and the whole family will like it.

Hi,

I also have many pepper and tomatoes in my garden, and this recipe is one of my favorites to get rid of the excess. I like to use corn tortillas instead of flour, they are a bit healthier and less calories that way. Hope you find this helpful!
