What's wrong with green bell peppers??

in yesterday's NY Times dining section, there was an article about how lots of people have not so good feeling about green bell pepper!

come to think of it, green pepper is one of the vegetables that many japanese kids do not like to eat.

for me, bell pepper means this green one.
i didn't even know that there are other colors, and taste different until not so long ago.

anyway, this is so UNFAIR!

so i immidiately cooked something.
sauteed green pepper with fried tofu.
by the way, i buy green pepper from the organic farmer that was interviewed in this article.
Norwich Meadow Farm.
they have a stall in union square market.
and they have so many different kinds of beautiful peppers!
and all delicious : )

i have a theory.
try organic one before you decide if you like it or not.
they taste different : )
or at least from local, small farms.
maybe people who do not like green bell pepper only tried non-organic one!

recipe

1 coat tofu with whole wheat flour or brown rice flour(or mix)
2 saute with sesame oil
3 add garlic, ginger and scallion and saute
4 finally add green bell pepper(cut) and saute with salt and pepper.
5 add 2 tbs of soy sauce and mix
bon appetit : )
