Edible parts
Fruits
Recipe idea for your 'California Wonder' green pepper harvest: Make a pepper stir-fry to accompany a late-summer meal. Remove the stems and seeds, then cut the flesh into strips of uniform thickness. Sauté an onion in a large skillet with a drizzle of oil. Add the peppers in a thin enough 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 apple cider vinegar before serving. Cooked chickpeas turn this side dish into a plant-based meal. The color stage and flesh thickness change the result in the kitchen. Thin flesh cooks quickly, while a fleshy pepper retains its structure better. Cut the pieces evenly to avoid having pieces that are still firm alongside overcooked ones.
