How to Make Peas N Peppers

  1. Halve the bell peppers lengthwise, remove stems, seeds, and white membranes. Rinse and set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Add the peas and a sprig of rosemary. Return to a boil and cook for 5 minutes or until peas are tender-crisp. Drain, reserving the cooking water.
  3. While peas are cooking, blanch the pepper halves in a separate pot of boiling water for 5 minutes, until hot and slightly softened but still crisp. Remove and set aside.
  4. In a food processor, puree the cooked peas with 5 tablespoons of the reserved cooking water. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and pulse until smooth.
  5. Stir the orange zest and the remaining chopped rosemary into the pea puree. Gently heat through in a saucepan for 1-2 minutes.
  6. Fill each pepper half generously with the pea puree. Serve immediately.
