Fried peppers

Ingredients

• 4 red or green peppers
• 1/2 cup flour
• Olive oil, for frying
• Salt to taste

Step-by-step preparation

1. Wash the peppers and cut them into thin strips, removing the seeds and white membranes.
2. Put the flour in a shallow dish and season it with salt.
3. Dredge each pepper strip in the flour, making sure it’s well coated.
4. In a large frying pan, heat enough olive oil to cover the bottom over medium-high heat.
5. Fry the pepper strips in the hot oil for about 3–5 minutes, until golden and crisp.
6. Drain the fried peppers on a tray or plate lined with paper towels.
7. Serve the fried peppers hot as a side for your favorite dishes, or as an appetizer with tomato sauce or aioli.
