It's time to use up those deflated peppers lurking in the salad drawer

<p><a target='_blank'href="https://groceries.asda.com/product/peppers/asda-farm-stores-mixed-peppers/910003187659" target="_blank">Peppers</a>: a salad drawer staple that work in everything from <a target='_blank'href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/recipe/giant-cous-cous-quinoa-mixed-peppers-salad" target="_blank">cous cous</a> and <a target='_blank'href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/recipe/quiche-with-salad-leaves-balsamic-dressing" target="_blank">quiches</a> to <a target='_blank'href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/recipe/butternut-squash-pepper-chickpea-curry" target="_blank">curries</a> and <a target='_blank'href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/recipe/roasted-red-pepper-tomato-soup" target="_blank">soups</a>.</p>
<p>Yet despite their versatility, somehow the remains of <a target='_blank'href="https://groceries.asda.com/product/peppers/asda-farm-stores-mixed-peppers/910003187659" target="_blank">that bag of mixed peppers</a> you bought last week always seems to wilt and wither before you’ve had a chance to use them up.</p>
<p>To help you make the most of your peppers and reduce food waste, we’ve rounded up our favourite dinnertime recipes that benefit from a good helping of sweet, sweet peppers.</p>
<p>From Thai curry to a cheat’s pizza, check them out below.</p>
<h2>pepper and red onion stuffed crust tortilla pizza</h2>
<p>Homemade pizza doesn’t always mean weighing up ingredients, hours of kneading and a big clean-up to deal with after. For a relatively mess-free alternative, opt for a <a target='_blank'href="https://groceries.asda.com/product/wraps/asda-white-tortilla-wraps/910000208644" target="_blank">tortilla base</a> instead to instantly minimise time needed in the kitchen.</p>
<p>Softened <a target='_blank'href="https://groceries.asda.com/product/peppers/asda-farm-stores-mixed-peppers/910003187659" target="_blank">peppers</a> and sweet and sticky caramelised red onions make up the hearty, saucy base in <a target='_blank'href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/recipe/roast-pepper-red-onion-stuffed-crust-tortilla-pizza" target="_blank">this cheat’s pizza</a>, while <a target='_blank'href="https://groceries.asda.com/product/goats-cheese/asda-goats-cheese/910003099782" target="_blank">goat’s cheese</a> packs a hefty punch of flavour that takes this easy tea-time fave from nursery food to grown-up supper.</p>

<h2>Roasted red pepper and crab soup</h2>
<p>When roasted, <a target='_blank'href="https://groceries.asda.com/product/peppers/asda-growers-selection-red-pepper/18394014" target="_blank">sweet red peppers</a> take on a whole new level of deep, caramelised flavour. <a target='_blank'href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/recipe/red-pepper-crab-soup" target="_blank">This roasted pepper and crab soup</a> is a great way of using up peppers that are getting a bit wrinkly.</p>
<p>Simply roast the peppers along with some garlic and spring onions then blend down with stock or water and top with <a target='_blank'href="https://groceries.asda.com/product/speciality-seafood/kingfisher-lump-crab-meat/910000371223" target="_blank">crab meat</a>. A delicious dinner party starter or summer weekend lunch.</p>

<h2>Thai salmon and pepper curry</h2>
<p>Why not use up baked salmon leftovers and old peppers all in one? <a target='_blank'href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/recipe/super-salmon-and-red-pepper-curry" target="_blank">This aromatic and creamy Thai curry</a> has it all: sweet <a target='_blank'href="https://groceries.asda.com/product/peppers/asda-farm-stores-mixed-peppers/910003187659" target="_blank">peppers</a>, flaky salmon and a creamy, spicy sauce that you won't be able to resist dipping <a target='_blank'href="https://groceries.asda.com/product/poppadoms-naan-bread-pickles/asda-2-plain-naans/910002088233" target="_blank">naan</a> or <a target='_blank'href="https://groceries.asda.com/product/naan-breads-chapattis/nishaan-traditional-plain-roti/13852563" target="_blank">rotis</a> into. All you need to give your leftovers a new lease of life is a few store cupboarrd essentials like <a target='_blank'href="https://groceries.asda.com/product/coconut-milk-ingredients/asda-coconut-milk/910003156496" target="_blank">coconut milk</a> and <a target='_blank'href="https://groceries.asda.com/product/thai-sauces-pastes-meal-kits/asda-thai-red-curry-paste/9157539" target="_blank">Thai red curry paste</a>.</p>

<h2>Pasta with spicy pepper sauce</h2>
<p>Who said tomatoes are allowed to have all the fun when it comes to <a target='_blank'href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/recipe/pasta-with-spicy-pepper-sauce" target="_blank">pasta sauce?</a></p>
<p>Charring your <a target='_blank'href="https://groceries.asda.com/product/peppers/asda-growers-selection-red-pepper/18394014" target="_blank">peppers</a> to smithereens may sound like a fire hazard rather than a kitchen tip, but that sweet flesh will take on a whole new lease of life once it's been de-skinned and left to cool. We love frying charred peppers off with garlic and chilli for a sweet and sumptuous sauce that'll coat your spaghetti or fusilli to perfection. A simple and satisfying Mediterranean dinner with minimal ingredients. Who can argue with that?</p>
