What To Serve With Stuffed Peppers?
I've got 6 nice red bell peppers and a bunch of bulk Italian sausage I made. I'm googling the pepper recipes but I'm not sure what else to make. I can make some bread and I've got stuff for a fresh salad. I've got a package of gnocchi and several types of pasta. I can use store bought spaghetti sauce or make a gorgonzola sauce. Or use the gorgonzola in the peppers and use the store stuff for pasta. I'm kinda overwhelmed and cornfuzed. What's usually served with stuffed peppers? Is stuffed peppers even an Italian dish or is it an American thing? Louise turns 29 today and I'd like to make a nice meal for her. TIA, Lou |

Mom made them and stuffed them with the same mixture as she used for holubky (cabbage rolls) -- ground beef, rice, onions, seasonings, cooked atop the stove with tomato juice poured over. I'd enjoy most any starch with them -- potatoes (diced and fried?), halushky, gnocchi. I don't see a spaghetti noodle with them, though. Got any pirohy on hand? That'd be good, too. Green salad. Cole slaw? We know I'm not a gourmet cook; my tastes are pretty simple and basic. Some good rye bread would be nice. -- -Barb, Mother Superior, HOSSSPoJ http://web.me.com/barbschaller 12/28/2009 |

There are either the European versions or the Middle Eastern versions. Its pretty much a complete meal since it has meat, starch and vegetable. |

Meat, rice and seasonings stuffed into the pepper is very much the same as they are done in many regions. The exact meat and seasoning vary, but the fundamentals of the dish are very much the same all over. |

For presentation on the plate, I would place the pepper on some additional rice with sauce overall. And definitely end with a killer dessert. Something nice and rich. Start with cheese and apples and a crusty bread. Not too much. Get a really nice wine. Janet |

What to serve with stuffed peppers is based on with what your stuffing contains. Most folks stuff peppers with a meat n' rice combo and include a sauce... really only needs a salad, beverage, n' dessert. If you omit the rice (as I do) then you may serve a starch with your meat and vegetable dish... with stuffed peppers I happen to like a garden salad and/or three bean salad served with potato salad... I prepare potato salad often, I don't think of it as company or picnic fare. Btw, the potato is Americas too. There really isn't much attributed to Italy. The Eyetalians are all the time attempting to hijack, but then they do excel in pickpocketing and whoring. |

Thanks to you and everyone else who responded. Seems bread is the winner so I've got a loaf going and I'm going to make a gorgonzola sauce. Should be a nice simple dinner. Thanks to all. Lou |

Many mornings I'll sit down here with a cup of coffee with no plans for dinner and I'll read something and the plan is made. <g> These turned out really well although it seems there's nothing authentic about them. Authenticity isn't important to me as long as whatever I make tastes good. I've only made stuffed peppers a few times and never with Italian sausage. Along with the rice and sausage there was peccorino and mozzarella, onion and garlic. I didn't add any additional spices as I figured my sausage had plenty and I was right. As per the recipe I roughly followed I parboiled the peppers for 5 minutes but they actually could have gone about two more minutes. That would be the only flaw in the outcome. The birthday girl said she would prefer red sauce over gorgonzola so I topped the peppers with some and put the rest in the baking dish. It worked out perfectly. The french bread also came out perfect. I've never steamed the oven before and what a difference it made. I'm really glad I asked here because I think I would have made way too much food. The bread was just enough. We each had one pepper and some bread and we were both stuffed. Someone mentioned they didn't consider this a "company" meal and that may be true but I'll say this was actually a very attractive and flavorful meal. I had steaks, shrimp and other more "fancy" things to work with but this was a change of pace. We had some great steaks last Tuesday anyway. By the time you grind the meat, make and brown the sausage, prepare the peppers, and make the bread it's actually a fairly time consuming meal. She appreciated the gesture. And our entertainment budget is shot so going out was not an option. I was pushing the envelope with flowers. Lou |

Yes I've seen that.

That's what the recipes I looked at all said.

There was a bag of eight good sized beautiful bells in the used veggie section for $.79. I couldn't pass that bargain up and planned on slicing them up and freezing most of them. It's funny how a plan progresses. >but for nostalgia's sake, I'll probably make them the way mom did. >>:-) Nothing wrong with that. >Although, I've copied what you said you did and would like to try it >sometime. Let us know how you like it if you try it. When I said I roughly followed the recipe it was an understatement. Rather than topping with breadcrumbs I used the sauce. It said to bake in a dish with an inch of water. I used sauce. It said to use cheddar and parmesan. That seemed SOOO wrong so I used mozzarella and pecorino. I measured nothing. It seems what I threw together isn't done by many folks here and it was nice to fly by the seat on may pants and be so pleased with the results. Lou |

Typical guilt dispenser. <snip> >Great bargain! I rarely buy anything but green peppers because of the >price, but I will buy red, yellow, or orange if they're on sale. The prices are weird. We just stopped at the store for a few things and I looked at the prices. Reds were $.98 and greens were $1.49. Very odd. Usually it's the other way around by a big margin. I've seen reds as high as $3.99. <ouch> Lou |

Usually it's the other way around by a big margin. I've > seen reds as high as $3.99. <ouch> I have my own personal theory on this. Red are more expensive because they take longer to grow, are more fragile and have a shorter shelf life. But since they have a shorter shelf life, what does the grocer do when it getting towards the end of their life? Sell them off cheap! It works on me. If I'm shopping for a green, and see that the red are cheaper, I'll buy those instead. -- Dan Abel Petaluma, California USA |
