Balsamic Marinated Peppers

These Balsamic Marinated Peppers is my third installment for our local Bloomsbury Farm CSA recipes. Let me tell you something – it has been one AWESOME CSA season. We are seriously SO spoiled with the best produce around.

We are currently in of my favorite produce seasons. My husband tells me I say that every week we go to the farmers market and that may be slightly true because I just like everything we get. Anyway, if you have followed me for a while you know that I really really like peppers and all things spicy. Peppers are in abundance right now and the flavor of these peppers is absolutely incredible. I really wanted to create a simple recipe where the peppers just get shine and be star of the party. I have been making pickled onions like it is nobody’s business lately and that is what triggered the idea for this recipe.

These peppers are marinated in a simple balsamic and olive oil mixture. Once you strain the peppers you can actually the marinade as a salad dressing and it is SO good.

You can eat them pepper as they are or you can garnish any salad, entrée, burger etc. The options are endless.

Enjoy!

Notes

• These peppers were pretty small so if you have really large ones I would only do two bell peppers.
