With Summer steadily approaching comes a new season of fresh fruits and vegetables. Bell peppers will be in peak season soon, so what better way to enjoy them than with egg bake with peppers or this Philly Cheese Steak Stuffed Bell Peppers recipe. Within this post you’ll learn tips on how to evenly cook ingredients and tricks to bring out optimal flavor.

I enjoy going to farmer’s markets, especially during Summer. The vibrant array of smells and colors tantalize the senses. I’m a sucker for the smell of fresh cilantro. For this Philly cheese steak recipe, the featured ingredient is fresh green bell peppers.

Traditionally a Philly Cheese Steak is sandwiched between bread. I’m all for that version, but if you want a slightly healthier, and gluten-free option, try hosting the filling on a roasted bell pepper. Top with peperoncini peppers to add a bit of tangy zing that compliments the rich, savory flavors.

In the final dish, you want to make sure the bell peppers aren’t tough or too crunchy. To fix this, pre-roast the peppers while you are caramelizing the onions. Then all you have to do is roast the Philly cheese steak stuffed bell peppers to finish cooking and melt all that gooey cheese goodness.

Cooking Tips: Using different cooking times/methods to ensure evenly cooked and better tasting food

Often times a recipe calls for multiple cooking methods or times, even for the same ingredient. This may seem like more effort, but is essential to make sure ingredients are evenly cooked and have optimal flavor. Here are some extra tips:

• Always toast nuts for any recipe to add a smoky flavor
• Caramelizing onions reduces bitterness and adds sweetness
• Roasting vegetables caramelizes them and brings out flavor
• Pre-cook tougher vegetables slightly so they are evenly cooked compared to the rest of the dish (as in this recipe)
• Heat spices (not herbs) in a bit of olive oil to bring out more flavor
• Add salt (about 1 teaspoon) to a pot of water when you boil pasta, potatoes or vegetables to bring out more flavor

Here’s a great list if you’d like to know when produce is in season.
