What goes with Bell Pepper?
Bell peppers contain a water-rich fleshy wall, a relatively tough glossy skin and a hollow cavity with seeds and pale ribs. Green peppers usually taste more grassy and less sweet than ripe red, yellow or orange fruit, although cultivar also matters. They are sweet peppers rather than hot chillies. Skin, internal ribs and retained water influence texture as strongly as colour influences flavour.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Bell Pepper?
Roasted red pepper welcomes tomato, garlic and tangy fresh cheese because sweetness, savouriness and acidity occupy different parts of the bite. Raw green pepper works better where grassy crunch is wanted. Drain peeled flesh before combining it with rice, pastry or a filling. Rich fish and coconut can accommodate its sweet register, while an acidic finish prevents these preparations from becoming soft and heavy.
