(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Sides

Ingredients

  • 2 large red bell peppers
  • 2 large yellow bell peppers
  • 2 1/2 lbs. red and Yukon gold new potatoes, quartered
  • 2 tsp kosher salt, divided
  • 1/2 lb. green beans, halved crosswise
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onion
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked and chopped
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 2 tbsp. chopped fresh thyme
  • 2 tbsp. stone-ground mustard
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Directions

  1. Position oven rack to highest level, and preheat oven to broil. Line a baking sheet with foil.

  2. Cut peppers in half lengthwise, discarding stems, seeds and membranes. Place pepper halves skin side up on prepared pan; flatten slightly.

  3. Broil until skin is blackened, about 4 minutes. Place peppers in a Ziploc bag; seal bag. Let stand until cool enough to handle. Peel peppers, discarding skins. Chop peppers.

  4. In a large Dutch oven, bring potatoes, 1 tsp salt and water to cover to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat, and simmer until potatoes are just tender, about 7 minutes. Add beans; cook for 1 minute. Drain well, and let cool for 20 minutes. Place potatoes and beans in a large bowl. Add peppers, green onion and bacon.

  5. In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, thyme, mustard, oil, garlic, pepper, and remaining 1 tsp salt. Pour over potato mixture; gently stir. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
