<\/b>I love to buy those pre-packed bell peppers, where you get one red, one yellow and one green. Now the predicament is that I usually only use the yellow and the red in my salads. The green bell peppers are a sort of\u00a0 ugly stepsister that often finds itself at the bottom of the vegetable shelf in the fridge for quite some time before it gets thrown out.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
But then, I don’t like to throw out food. Recently I remembered that the Chinese use green peppers in their stir-fries very often, from when we lived in China (ok, that is more than 20 years ago.) Combined with onion, chicken (or beef) and a mixture of soy sauce and red wine to spice up the dish, it is now one of my favorite weekday dinners. Fast, simple, delicious, little ingredients.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We are on holiday at the German North Sea right now and this was our dinner last night. I took the picture above at 8.30pm. I love those long evenings. It only gets really dark between 10.30 and 11pm. And apart from this, this part of the world is just beautiful, with lots of fresh air, an amazing seaside with amazing tides and mudflats and lots of greenery. A welcome and much needed change to the heat of Dubai.<\/p>\n
