ingredients
- 4 soft white or wheat hamburger buns
- 4 green bell peppers, seeded and halved
- 4 slices extra sharp cheddar cheese
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Salt & pepper
- Hard salami slices, optional
Method
Step 1
For olive-oil steamed peppers: Add about ¼ inch of olive oil to the bottom of a large pot. Add green bell pepper halves. They don’t need to be situated in any particular way. Cover pot.
Step 2
Steam peppers in the olive oil for 75-90 minutes or until peppers are soft and army green. Halfway through, use tongs to re-arrange peppers in the pot so the ones on the top are now on the bottom. If pepper skins are browning quickly, turn heat down to low.
Step 3
To assemble sandwiches: open your hamburger buns and add a slice of extra sharp cheddar to each bottom bun. Use tongs to add 1-2 pepper halves to each sandwich, shaking off excess oil as you go. Add salami slice to each sandwich if desired. Sprinkle generously with salt & pepper. Place bun tops on to finish off your sandwich. Enjoy right away while the peppers are warm!
