Sweet Italian Peppers

[kadesma]

Cubanelle peppers are sweet and mild we like to take about 4 lbs of them clean them of the tops and seeds and slice then we fry them in evoo put them on paper towels to get off extra oil and salt them lightly then they can be eaten as is or put on sandwiches, in or on a salad give them a try they are a nice change from hot hot, hot!!! These peppers can also be made into a vinaigrette if anyone is interested let me know and Ill post the recipe.
