Probably one of my favourite vegetables (i know technically a fruit but oh well).

A very versatile ingredient, so i thought i’d do a little guide on how i usually prepare them.

1.Take it’s hat off

Start by slicing off the top, try to cut through the bottom part of the stem.

2.Take out the insides

Next remove the seeds and any pith (white bits) that you can grab with your fingers.

You don’t have to take out the pith, it’s perfectly edible unlike citrus fruits where it’s very bitter. A common misconception is that you can’t eat the pith on bell peppers, removing it is just down to personal preference.

Cut the Pith out

With a knife slice along the edges of the pith on the inside of the pepper.
