Recipe idea for your 'Classic' F1 red pepper harvest: Sauté the peppers to accompany a late-summer meal. Remove the stems and seeds, then slice the flesh into strips of uniform 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 towards the end of cooking and a dash of cider vinegar before serving. Cooked chickpeas turn this side dish into a vegetarian main. The color stage and the thickness of the flesh change the culinary result. Thin flesh cooks quickly, while a fleshy pepper holds its shape better. Cut the pieces evenly to avoid having firm bites next to overcooked parts.
