My DH does not like fresh green or red peppers. I just leave them out of a
lot of recipes, but sometimes the recipe needs the color jolt.

Any ideas on what I can substitute? I have used poblano peppers in place of
bell peppers (it's the bell pepper flavor he doesn't like) but sometimes
that flavor combination doesn't sound good to me. And sometimes I've
replaced part of the onion with green onion to get that green into the
finished dish. Any other ideas?

The red pepper substitution is more problematic for me. I want that nice
jolt of red in the dish. I've tried chopped peeled and seeded tomatoes, but
the texture is often wrong and the tomatoes can add too much liquid to the
dish. In small quantities I guess I could use oil-packed dried tomatoes,
but in larger quantities their flavor can overhwelm the dish. Any other
ideas for adding a bit of red to a dish?

BTW, he doesn't like pimentos, either.
