Sarah Goes To the shelves for more culinary inspiration.

It's nice to have little things like this stashed in your pantry or fridge.  They make meal time mountains surmountable.  I like to use them when I find myself in the culinary doldrums.  With a jar of the stuffed peppers weighing down my bag I headed home.  

I had snacked myself through most of the jar before a plan came to fruition: a kind of nicoise chop salad hybrid.  It brought a lot of color and snappy flavor to my lunch.  Other options I considered:

Orecchiette with bitter greens tossed with hached peppers

Tapas plate: patatas bravas, tuna peppers, jamon Serrano, Manchego

Bruschetta with capers, grilled eggplant, sliced peppers, Sherry vinegar
