Recipe idea for your 'Cornissimo' F1 red pepper harvest. Make a sautéed pepper dish to accompany a late-summer meal. Remove the stems and seeds, then cut the flesh into strips of similar thickness. Sauté an onion in a large frying pan with a drizzle of oil. Add the peppers in a fairly thin layer so they can brown instead of boiling in their own juices. Stir occasionally, then lower the heat to finish cooking to your desired texture. Add a touch of garlic at the end of cooking and a splash of cider vinegar before serving. Cooked chickpeas turn this side dish into a plant-based main. The color stage and thickness of the flesh change the culinary result. Thin flesh cooks quickly, while a fleshy pepper holds its shape better. Cut the pieces uniformly to avoid having pieces that are still firm alongside overcooked ones.
