chop an onion, fry but with lid on so it stays pale, [add salt it helps when cooking onions like that], add a stick of celery finely chopped, throw in 2 or 3 finely chopped red peppers, two or three cloves of garlic, add a tin [or two] of chopped tomatoes, or your own tomatoes, chopped up, some water if it's a bit thick [it will get runnier as the veg cooks], add a teaspoon or two of stock powder, either marigold or knorr veg, cook, blitz slightly, eat.
if you want a smokier flavour, char the peppers under a grill, place in a plastic bag, slide off skin, chop and add those to the soup instead of bog standard peppers.

how about pickled red peppers, taste great look great. Must be pretty good i've sold a few......

Wrap some ham and a slice of cheese together into a 'swiss-roll' shape and stuff the pepper. Then bake it in foil. This is fab for those Ramiro peppers (the long pointed carrot-shaped red ones), but will probably work with the fat ones, too.

This is for Pimento/Sweet Peppers. If you mean Chilli Peppers, then just ignore me!

Roast the peppers (or simply char using a gas hob), then slice up some chorizo and heat in a pan. Throw in the peppers, some black olives and a good spoonful of tomato puree. Cook whilst the pasta is boiling. Drain pasta, and mix. Serve with a good grating of parmesan.

I stuff peppers with a rice-based mixture, soften a chopped onion in a suggestion of oil, stir in some finely chopped garlic, if you eat meat, add it now (a small amount of chorizo, chopped small is good) any other flavours you like, and cook for a few more mins. Add a small scoop of risotto-typr rice, and 2 scoops of wel flavoured stock, simmer until the rice has absorbed most of the liquid.
MEANWHILE, prepare the peppers for stuffing, you can cut them in half down the middle, or cut the tops off (as preferred, but if you take the tops off rescue as much as possible from around the stalk, chop coarsely and add to the stuffing) remove the insides and seeds, pour in boiling water and leave to stand until the stuffing is ready.
Pour off the water, stand the peppers in an over-proof dish and fill with the stuffing mix, pour a little hot water over and around the peppers, you don't need much, then put a little grated cheese on top of each piece (if you like cheese).
Cover with foil and bake at gas 5 for about 20-30 mins.
I do these as a 'one dish' meal, we can eat up to 3 each (more if they are small ones) as our main meal. Someties the stuffing is almost paella....
