I have a glut of Green Sweet Peppers at the moment ( due to my over enthusiastic sowing and adversion to killing off unwanted seedlings) and as I don't have a clue in the Kitchen (although I have been showing signs of interest since growing my own which is a good sign) I was hoping someone on here could suggest ways to cook them up into something tasty to freeze.

Thanks S.

Why not freeze the peppers. I pick fresh, slice and freeze them. Use frozen in most dishes.

You could try Pepperonata - but I have only made this with mixed peppers before - not all green ones.

But www.fooddownunder.com have lots of different recipes just tupe in green pepper into the search bar.

Great site, thanks for that. I will have a good look when I have more time. In the meantime I'll do as most suggested and just freeze them.

Thanks  Sandringham.

If you've also got a glut of onions, tomatoes, courgettes and aubergines, you could make ratatouille, and freeze it.

Any ingredients you don't have you could buy.

I'd suggest slice and freeze.  Good idea to put baking parchment between layers though, so you end up with a usable portion, not a big clump of frozen pepper.

Alternatively open freeze them, then store in bags/ice cream tubs.
