Fried hot peppers in sweet and sour balsamic vinaigrette is a tasty side dish that can be made in little time to complement any meal. Roasted or fried marinated peppers are great served hot or cold in various ways — as part of an appetiser platter, alongside tofu, tempeh and other vegetables, or in a bun with your favourite veggie burgers or sausages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hot peppers are part of our usual grocery shopping. Depending on what\u2019s available at the fresh produce market, I sometimes get banana peppers or cubanelles. Both are rather mild in terms of heat but are distinctly more flavourful than regular bell peppers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I often serve hot peppers simply pan-fried or deep fried, plain on the side as a condiment or part of any meal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, I remembered a method of preparing them that a flatmate of mine used to do many many years ago when I was still a student. After frying them, she would marinate them in a simple sweet and sour vinaigrette that turned the hot peppers from delicious to wow! Back then, she used regular white vinegar which, despite the simplicity, added a lot of oomph to these humble peppers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve tweaked her recipe, added some of my own personal touch to it and the peppers turned out pretty delicious. The combination of balsamic and rice vinegar adds a unique depth of flavour with a zingy sweetness that makes plain hot peppers simply moreish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These marinated fried banana or cubanelle peppers would be great on an appetizer platter, or served with fried or baked tofu, tempeh and other vegetables. I love serving them on the side as part of a meal with sauteed vegetables, lentils and rice. I also think these peppers would be absolutely delicious served with your favourite veggie burgers<\/a> or sausages in a bun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don\u2019t like the idea of pan-frying or deep frying the peppers, you can, of course, roast them for about 20 – 25 minutes or until their skin is lightly charred. I\u2019ve tried them both ways and, whether fried or roasted, they are equally tasty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
