PAPA CANNIZZARO STRING BEANS

Posted by Suzan Petersen
1)  A bunch of Roma String Beans (they need to be big and flat as shown in the photo below*) 
2)  Three garlic pods smashed
3)  Salt
4)  Olive Oil
5)  Red Wine Vinegar

String Bean preparation:  Cut the ends off and throw out.  Rinse the beans clean.
Take a pot of water adding a pinch or two of salt.  Add smashed garlic and beans.  Bring to a boil; boiling them till the beans are a deep green color.  Remove from stove and drain water out.  Drizzle some olive oil on the bottom of a platter then dump beans along with garlic over.  Add more olive oil to the top.  Stir beans to coat well with the olive oil.  Let set for awhile.  When cooled down to a warm temperature add red wine vinegar (to taste), salt & pepper.  May need to add a little more olive oil.  Red Wine Vinegar should be a light taste.  Serve 
Enjoy ♥

Papa Cannizzaro's Fried Bell Peppers

Posted by Suzan Petersen


I went to the store today and saw that green bell peppers were on sale.  So I bought six large beautiful green peppers.  One of my favorite recipes my father made when I was growing up was his Fried Bell Peppers.  


If you make this dish, comment your review.
Very easy recipe:

  • 6 Green Bell Peppers or as many bellpeppers as you like.  (Remember they shrink as you cook them.  This was perfect for feeding the four of us.)
  • Olive Oil
  • Chopped Garlic (I used three wedges from the bulb)
  • Red Wine Vinegar
  • Salt to taste
  1. Wash and discard all the seeds from the Pepper.
  2. Cut the pepper in one inch pieces (see photo) .
  3. Add Olive Oil to a pan (coating the bottom).  Make sure it's a large pan that you can spread the peppers evenly across the bottom for even cooking.
  4. Add chopped garlic and bell peppers... stirring around.
  5. Add Red Wine Vinegar.  I do it by taste and throughout the cooking.  So I throw some on all round the peppers and stir.  I repeat this probably two more times.
  6. Add salt
  7. Cook this until the peppers are almost charred (see photo).  
Cooking time is about 20-30 minutes depending on how many peppers you have in the pan.  Key is that they are charred and look as they do in the photo.
Enjoy
