the mexican meatloaf uses one green capsicum lol

the pizza risotto uses one as well f rom memory

sorry no help to you at all am I  :-))

I don't use green ones all that often - now if they were red I would be making sweet chilli sauce :)  What about salsa's or something like that?

they are going to be roasted today...............unfortunatly, they get to about the size of a golf ball and stop growing!! but there are loads of them! I think we planted the wrong variety this time...........my next option is leaving them on friends door steps and running away! The courgettes are mad this year, but I can find loads of recipes for them!

Dear joosmicra,

Not sure if your crop is still producing, but I thought of your post when I saw the following recipe presented on tele this am:

I think it's very intuitive to convert to TMX but haven't taken the time to write down a conversion yet.

Hope that appeals, along with all the other delicious-sounding suggestions made by other forum members already.

Why don't you let them ripen - they will be sweeter and you can roast them, pack them tight in freezer containers (in manageable portions) and freeze them for at least 6 months. 

I made up some of this red pepper jam last year and it was delicious.  (Didn't last long.)

we have only had one year when we  managed to ripen them, because we are fairly high up.......we just had our first frost yesterday, and we still have a greenhouse full of green tomatoes, so chutney may be in order.

Oh No!!  :o :o didn't see that on the weather report on the news.I'm trying to get my tomatoes to ripen (outside) at least living in the south we might not get the frost yet.

As long as the frost is not too severe, you can keep some plants going with a plastic "tent" and a string of outdoor mini holiday lights.
