Sweet colored peppers (red, yellow, green and orange):
Enjoy a culinary experience rich in flavor and versatility, as well as being visually appealing. Unlike using each color separately, the combination of all of them provides a mix of nuances of sweetness, smoothness and a slight touch of herbaceous freshness.
### Flavor Description
1. **Complex Sweetness**: The mixture of peppers of different colors offers a balanced and natural sweetness. Red and yellow peppers tend to be sweeter, while green peppers provide a slightly fresher and more vegetal flavor that balances the mixture. Orange peppers are somewhere in between, complementing with a soft and less intense touch.
2. **Herbaceous and Fresh Nuances**: The mixture includes the herbaceous touch of the green pepper, which balances the sweetness of the other colors. This combination is refreshing and succulent, without being spicy.
3. **Aromatic and Light**: The combination enriches dishes with a fresh aroma and a fruity touch, ideal for dishes that seek freshness without overwhelming other ingredients.
### Culinary Uses of the Combination
1. **Salads**: Raw, the mixture of colors provides a crunchy texture and a contrast of flavors that goes well with green leaves, grains such as quinoa, rice or even in pasta salads.
2. **Stir-fries and Wok**: In stir-fries, the combination of peppers provides a sweet and fresh flavor that combines well with meats, tofu or vegetables. It enhances the flavor of the dish with a contrast that intensifies when lightly cooked.
3. **Stews and Braises**: In long cooking times, the colored peppers add sweetness and depth of flavor. They dissolve in the broth, which enhances the final flavor of the dish, especially in chicken, pork or chickpea stews.
4. **Stuffings and Baking**: Mixing sliced bell peppers into fillings (such as rice, meat, or lentils) not only adds flavor, but also visual appeal. It is also common in quiches or frittatas, where the sweetness balances the creaminess.
5. **Sauces and Soups**: When roasted and processed, colored bell peppers add a sweet and creamy touch to sauces and creams. For example, in a pepper cream or pasta sauce, this mixture provides a rich flavor without the need to add sugar or many seasonings.
### Added Value of the Combination
In addition to flavor, the combined use of these peppers provides visual appeal with vivid and varied tones, which makes any dish look more appetizing. It is also a nutritious food that provides vitamins A, C, and antioxidants in each color.
