I suddenly have a glut of Green Peppers. They have little chance of turning red, so I'm finding uses for them as often as possible.
Normally for this recipe I use bottled whole Red Peppers, but it's the perfect opportunity to use a few home grown ones.
I stuff the raw Peppers with Brandade, which is a mix of Potato, salt Cod, Olive oil, and garlic. These are placed in a small cast iron 'tian' dish, drizzled with white wine and more olive Oil, then roasted for about 40 mins.
This dish is more typical of Spain than France, but its popularity crosses The Pyrenees.
My photo doesn't do justice to the finished dish; I forgot to take a snap of it direct from the oven. Anyway, it was cheap, simple, and delicious; what more could one want.

It looks superb. I would be tempted to give it a drop of tomato ketchup but ignore me I'm a Philistine.
No need to apologize. It looks delicious.
It was wonderful. I don't suppose that ready-made Brandade is available everywhere, but it isn't difficult to make.
It looks a bit messy. It would have been better two minutes before.
You need a greenhouse!
I've been thinking about that for years!
I second the green house suggestion, above. I'd start construction immediately... A friend grows orchids in a wonderful green house year around. Those peppers look delicious. I stuff peppers with ground beef, onion, tomato and herbs. The cod and potato would make a nice change. Thx.
That stuffing sounds very interesting. I stuff mine similar to Susan but also add either brown rice or quinoa and top with cheese. I had many peppers this summer but only a few had time to turn red.
The stuffing mix sounds delicious. I think you've written about it before. I would like to try it but have to wait for the right persons at my table.
We also love stuffed peppers. However, here we use ground meat, rice, pecans, garlic, onions, and a lot of herbs. But yours sounds good too!
An interesting recipe with two words I will have to look up.
