Lol so there's a weird situation going on in my fridge. There's a basin of red and yellow capsicums swimming in water because I don't really know what to do with them. I've had them for a couple weeks but they feel firm but I've got this fear that I don't know what I'll find if I slice them open.
slice them in the sink
What will come out though 😭
A note saying ‘we are prisoners please send help’ put in there by workers at the capsicum factory. If a capsicum has gone bad it will usually show as soft spots on the outside, so if the outside seems fine it’s unlikely it will be bad in the middle.
Oh no I wasn't thinking of that but that would be even more frightening.
I had a couple that I had to throw away because they went mushy and mouldy on the outside. I hope the rest hadn't been infected.
Seeds will come out.
You could possibly roast the caps whole, slice and store them in oil until needed. Or freeze the roasted strips. Fresh caps don't freeze well cos they collapse into mush, but cooked ones are just fine.
Or if there are manky bits inside, cut them out, then blitz the good bits to a puree and freeze in useful quantities. Add to soups, stews and stir fries or even tray bakes in lieu of tomato sauce.
Whyyyyyyy are vegies so fussssss
Thank you....I will get the courage to slice them when in broad daylight
Mystery capsicums 🫑
What’s inside? No one will know…..
Not a small toy in a capsule I know
