Mixed Bell Peppers

Mixed Bell Peppers are a very convenient ingredient that will take some of the work out of chopping and preparing vegetables. Simply add some to the cooking food in place of fresh peppers to get the same flavours and vitamin content. We know that coring and cutting up peppers isn’t the worst job in the world, but sometimes it just isn’t convenient. One of the best uses for Mixed Bell Peppers is if you’re out camping  and are eating a lot of campfire foods. Noodles or rice is often on the menu, but can be a little boring. Take some of these with you, add to the boiling water and serve!

To rehydrate Mixed Bell Peppers, pour on enough boiling water to cover and leave to stand for up to 20 minutes. They can then go into any number of curries, stews, casseroles and soups. You can also bake with them, adding some to bread doughs for extra flavour, or just scatter them over couscous, quinoa or whatever you want.

As with all herbs and spices, add a little at a time to get the flavour you want. You can always add more, but taking it out again can be impossible!
