How to Make Peppers Packed In Oil

  1. Wash and dry the bell peppers thoroughly. Cut into 1-inch strips.
  2. Place the pepper strips in a colander, sprinkle generously with 2 tablespoons of coarse sea salt, and set the colander over a bowl to drain excess moisture. Let sit overnight (or for at least 8 hours).
  3. Gently rinse the peppers under cold water and pat completely dry with a clean kitchen towel. Set aside.
  4. Sterilize four 8-oz jars and their lids by boiling in a large pot of water for 15 minutes. Carefully remove with tongs and set aside on a clean kitchen towel to dry completely.
  5. Divide 12 peppercorns evenly among the four jars (3 per jar).
  6. Add 2 cloves of peeled garlic, 1 sprig of fresh basil, and 1 sprig of oregano (or marjoram) to each jar.
  7. Evenly distribute the pepper strips among the four jars, packing them firmly.
  8. Carefully pour extra virgin olive oil into each jar, ensuring the peppers are completely submerged by at least ½ inch.
  9. Wipe the rims of the jars clean with a damp cloth.
  10. Securely seal the jars with their lids.
  11. Label the jars with the contents and date.
  12. Store in a cool, dark place or in the refrigerator for up to several months. Enjoy!
