Beer Braised Green Peppers, Onions & Potatoes image

I was making a pizza crust with beer and our son dumped the beer in the frying pan with the green peppers and onions, instead of the bowl with the pizza dough makings and a recipe was born!

Time 55m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 green sweet peppers, seeded and diced
1 large white onion, peeled and diced
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 (12 ounce) can beer
1 teaspoon salt or 1 teaspoon salt substitute
1 teaspoon white pepper
6 potatoes, peeled and shredded
1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese (optional)
1 tablespoon lemon juice (see note) (optional)

Steps:

  • In large frying pan, add green peppers, onions and 2 tblsp olive oil. Heat to moderate heat. Stir a few times until onions and peppers are starting to get transparent. Add 6 oz of beer and cover, turn heat down and simmer about 10 minutes.
  • Take out of pan and set aside in a bowl.
  • To dry frying pan add 2 tblsp olive oil. Heat to moderate high, add shredded potatoes. Note: You may squeeze the potatoes to release and drain the starch and then add 1 tblsp lemon juice to potatoes so they do not turn as brown before cooking.
  • Fry without turning. Use spatula to raise edges and raise slightly towards the middle.
  • Turn heat down after the underside starts to turn medium brown. It is best to use non stick or heavy commercial skillet.
  • Add the other 6 oz of beer, tip the pan and raise the edges so the beer goes on the underside of the potatoes.
  • Add the salt and pepper sprinkling on the top of the potatoes.
  • Add the reserved cooked peppers and onion mixture. Cover,cook low heat 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Take frying pan to the table and cut in wedges and serve with spatula. Sprinkle with cheese for individual taste only.
  • Note: My family used ketchup as a condiment for this recipe. Use a very mild mellow lite beer.
