Mahshi filfil (Egyptian stuffed capsicum)
As Masterchef alumni Amina Elshafei shares, roots of stuffed vegetables apparently come from the Ottomans who historically ruled parts of the Middle East over centuries. This is her grandmother’s recipe, and you can easily swap out the capsicums with baby eggplant and zucchini.
Paneer and capsicum kebabs
The smoky sizzled flavour of these kebabs, paired with this sweet and savoury mango sauce, makes them a delicious vegetarian main.
Scrambled tofu and capsicum tacos
This combo of curried tofu, smoky capsicum, sharp pickled radish, fresh coriander and creamy mayo is heavenly. These tacos work well on their own, or as part of a spread.
Warm fennel and capsicum jam
Clarissa Feildel shares one of her husband's recipes for their last book. They have this quite often, with a really nice piece of pork and some of the jam on the side and a fresh salad.
Marinated peppers
Whole bullhorn capsicums baked and drizzled with a thyme, garlic and olive-oil marinade. A perfect entrée or side dish.
Mallorcan fry-up (frito mallorquin)
Catalan cuisine chef Emma Warren shares her Spanish stir-fry, with potato, capsicum, lamb and herbs. Remember to 'jump' the pan as you go to keep the ingredients moving.
Kid's krapow
By using capsicum and regular basil instead of the traditional Thai krapow flavours and making it a little bit sweeter, the kids appreciate it more.
Barbecued capsicum with egg and pecorino
This is a novel and colourful way to cook eggs and capsicums, which turn soft and tender on the barbie.
