A Roundup of Red Pepper Recipes

Four chefs take red peppers on a culinary ride we think you'll enjoy. Grill Fire-Roasted Red Peppers with Brooke Vosika of the Four Seasons. Or try a spin on pesto with a Roasted Red Pepper version courtesy of Hell's Kitchen finalist Jason Santos (congrats!). For the perfect companion to fish, roasted meats and vegetables, make Spain staple, Romesco Sauce, with Keith Pooler of Bergamot. Phyllis Kaplowitz of Bakers' Best delivers with a tangy Sour Apple Red Pepper Jelly which is a great dipping sauce for a variety of things including Baked Buffalo Chicken Brochettes.
