Red bell peppers are most often ridiculously high in price down at the PathMark dontchaknow. $4.99 a lb. And you notice, they're super heavy. I used to believe it was silly to pay higher. I'd just as well buy a pound of the green and get like 4. I arrived late to the red bell pepper party. I never truly appreciated them until last year when I added them to this amazing pork stew. Now I'm absolutely crazy for them. They're sweet, they have tons of flavor and they actually improve and change the taste of soups and sauces that normally house green bell pepper. Just the art of allowing them to ripen and develop that added sweetness makes all the difference. Don't get me wrong though, I still love green bell pepper and couldn't live without them in many dishes.
These simple scrambled eggs with sauteed sliced red bell peppers were the cat's meow with a smathering of my bright green roasted tomatillo sauce for added color and vavoom! I still won't pay full price but let these babies go on sale and I will be there with bells on!
