STEWED PEPPERS WITH TOMATOES, ONIONS AND GARLIC
There are variations of this dish throughout the Mediterranean. The Basque piperade, made with slender, slightly piquant peppers called piments d'espelette and stirred into scrambled eggs along with bayonne ham, has some heat; whereas Italian peperonata is sweet through and through. A North African version, chakchouka, is spiced with fiery harissa and a spice blend made with caraway and coriander, cayenne and garlic, and is usually served with eggs poached right on top of the stew. See the variations below.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet or heavy casserole over medium heat and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes, and add the garlic and peppers. Cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes and add 1/2 teaspoon salt. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes, until the peppers are tender.
- Add the tomatoes, thyme, salt, and pepper, bring to a simmer, and simmer, stirring from time to time, until the tomatoes have cooked down somewhat, about 10 minutes. Cover, reduce the heat and simmer over low heat for another 15 to 20 minutes (or longer), stirring from time to time, until the mixture is thick and fragrant. Taste and adjust seasonings. Serve as a side dish, as a topping for pizza, pasta, polenta, rice, or bruschetta, as a filling for an omelet, or stir into scrambled eggs.

SCALLOPS WITH BELL PEPPERS, TOMATOES, AVOCADO AND MANGO
Steps:
- Char bell peppers over gas flame or in broiler until blackened on all sides. Enclose in paper bag; let stand 10 minutes. Peel and seed bell peppers. Cut all bell peppers into matchstick-size strips. Set aside.
- Arrange tomatoes on baking sheet. Broil until tomatoes begin to brown and blister, about 5 minutes.
- Heat oil in heavy large skillet over high heat. Add scallops and cook 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Turn scallops over. Add lime juice to skillet, then tequila. Simmer until scallops are cooked through and liquid is reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer scallops to plate. Stir roasted peppers, tomatoes, cilantro and basil into cooking liquid. Add butter 1 piece at a time, whisking just until melted. Return scallops to skillet. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Spoon scallop mixture onto plates. Sprinkle with diced avocado and mango. Garnish with cilantro sprigs.
PEPPER AVOCADO SALSA
Much of our summer menu is done on the grill, and peppers and avocados are favorites in my family. That led me to create this recipe to help spice up our barbecued entrees. I have also served it as an appetizer or thin wedges of bread and as a topping for easy country-style dishes like chicken and rice pilaf. With our 14-year-old daughter, we live on 4 wooded acres on Mt. Pisqua. -Theresa Mullens, Gill, Massachusetts

AVOCADO WITH BELL PEPPER AND TOMATOES
Steps:
- In a small bowl, whisk together oil, lime juice, garlic, and cayenne. Season with salt.
- Scoop out meat from avocado halves and chop. Transfer to a bowl and add bell pepper, tomatoes, scallion, and cilantro.
- Drizzle with dressing and season with salt. Gently stir to combine. Spoon mixture into avocado shells. Garnish with cilantro leaves.
Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados: Look for avocados that are dark green or black in color, and slightly soft to the touch. Avoid avocados that are too hard or have bruises.
- Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will help you to easily cut the avocado and prevent it from becoming bruised.
- Remove the avocado pit: To remove the avocado pit, cut the avocado in half lengthwise and twist the two halves in opposite directions. The pit will easily come out.
- Slice the avocado: Slice the avocado into thin slices or cubes, depending on your preference.
- Choose fresh bell peppers: Look for bell peppers that are brightly colored and have no blemishes. Avoid peppers that are wrinkled or have soft spots.
- Cut the bell peppers into strips: Cut the bell peppers into thin strips, about 1/4 inch wide.
- Choose ripe tomatoes: Look for tomatoes that are deep red in color and have no blemishes. Avoid tomatoes that are green or have soft spots.
- Cut the tomatoes into wedges: Cut the tomatoes into wedges, about 1/2 inch thick.
- Use fresh cilantro: Fresh cilantro adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the dish. If you don't have fresh cilantro, you can use dried cilantro, but it will not be as flavorful.
- Use a light vinaigrette dressing: A light vinaigrette dressing will help to brighten the flavors of the avocado, bell pepper, and tomatoes without overpowering them.
Conclusion:
Avocado with bell pepper and tomatoes is a light, refreshing, and flavorful dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The combination of creamy avocado, crunchy bell pepper, and juicy tomatoes is delicious, and the light vinaigrette dressing adds a perfect finishing touch. This dish is also very easy to make, and it can be tailored to your own preferences. For example, you can add other vegetables, such as corn or cucumber, or you can use a different type of dressing. No matter how you choose to make it, avocado with bell pepper and tomatoes is sure to be a hit!
