Peppers and onions

  • I have a new found love for sauted peppers and onions. They are something that I hated all of my life, until this past winter when I decided to give them a go.. hadn't had them since I was a kid. Yummo! I've been missing out big time chicks! Tonight I had made hamburgers for the family to I decided to saute some up, cut up my burger, dollaped some mustard on each piece and loaded it up with them.... I was in heaven! It was THE BEST BURGER EVER. I know it probably sounds silly to you ladies, but it really was almost like a revalation to me.

    What do you do with your peppers and onions?
  • I'm with ya chicky ! I LOVE sauteed peppers and onions. Best way for me to make something boring delicious

    They rock !
  • Add cut up chicken breast/lean steak and taco seasoning... fajitas!
  • It's nice to have cooked peppers and onions on hand, they're easy to add to an omelet or frittata, or to jazz up a tomato sauce. Sometimes I add mushrooms to the pepper and onion saute, too.

    For Phase II: I make really yummy quesadillas with whole wheat tortillas and lowfat cheese and lots of the pepper mix. Add salsa and lf sour cream and a dollop of guacamole.

    Also really good on top of pizza. I make mine on whole wheat pitas with lots of tomato sauce/paste and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.
  • South Beach wouldn't be nearly as palatable without sauteed or, even better yet, GRILLED bell peppers and onions!!!
  • I eat sauteed onions almost daily. One of my favorites. Cooked in a little EVOO with mushrooms, minced garlic, peppers or whatever veggie I have on hand. Last night I had them with zucchini. Tonight with garbanzo beans and pesto.
  • I put both on my SB easy pizza last night. Its really great when you find something new that you like.
  • I like mine with tofurkey Italian sausage, or over shiratake or WW pasta.
  • I like them drizzled with balsamic, olive oil, salt and pepper - then throw in a little feta cheese for a punch! Pair it with sausage and drooooooool....
  • I love sauteed peppers and onions! I usually use them on steaks, burgers, but I also eat them as a side dish.
  • I stocked up on some more, had some tonight on a burger again. I saved enough to go my scrambled eggs tomorrow... i'll probably dice up my canadian bacon in them too. mmmmm can't wait
  • Oops, If you like that in your eggs, you'll probably like cabbage in it, too. I cut the cabbage in shreds like coleslaw, saute it with some onion, and a little Cajun seasoning, then scramble in the eggs. If you use your imagination, it's a little like hash browns.
