Roasted peppers are great. Cut 'em in half, and (an outdoor grill would be ideal) roast them in the broiler, or even over the flame of gas grill on your stovetop, until slightly blackened and semi-soft, and the skin is suitable for peeling. Then put the roasted peppers in a paper bag, or in a bowl, and cover them, to cool. The condensation from the heat and moisture inside the bag, or under the plastic wrap, makes the skin extra easy to peel. That 'roasted pepper' taste is splendid. Serve as a snack, on crackers, as a condiment.
If you like italian sausage, another option is to slice the peppers into colorful strips, and brown in olive oil until soft, it in same the pan you cooked the sausage in, with sliced onions. Peppers and onions, delicious. Great served on submarine-type sandwich bread, or baguette, a classic Italian sausage sandwich.
