Culinary Techniques: How to Cut a Red Pepper

Post by Elyse May (aka Veggie Teen) from my book, Veggie Teens: A Cookbook and Guide for Vegetarian Teenagers.

In addition to hundreds of recipes, there are 21 "Veggie Teens Culinary How To" instructions in Veggie Teens, each with three-step photos. Here is an easy way to cut and slice a red pepper.

Wash pepper then stand it upright on a cutting board.Slice off one flat side, rotate and repeat until you have four flat pieces.

Dispose of stem and seeds. Trim white pith from the slices with a knife or your fingers.

You can leave the flat piece whole to roast it or you can cut into thin strips or dice it for salad, pasta and stir fry.
