Sweet and Sour Green Pepper

Shopping at farmers markets or super markets gives me inspiration of cooking. I usually decide what to have for dinner when I walk around markets. Chili and pepper aren’t very popular in Hong Kong so there aren’t many choices in the market. But I like them so much! This evening, I found some cute and fresh green peppers and thought I could make something delicious with them.

I googled and judging from the size and shape, I guessed they might be Pimiento de Patron or Guernica. I wasn’t sure if they were spicy or not. According to the information I read, if they were Pimiento de Patron, there might be chance some of them were spicy, but if they were Guernica, then the spiciness was very mild. I wasn’t sure so they’d better be seeded and it should be lovely to make them sweet and sour. This would help to reduce the spiciness.
