What is Italian seasoning, where to buy it?
- Italian seasoning (Italian seasoning) is a spice blend made from various herbs, including: basil, oregano, or parsley. They have a very fragrant, strong aroma and are often used to prepare dishes such as grilled meat, salad, or Italian-style dishes.
- You can buy Italian seasoning at large supermarkets, grocery stores, or online on e-commerce websites.
How to choose good bell peppers
- When buying bell peppers, you should choose those with a shiny, thick, smooth skin and still have the stem attached. You should buy the ones that feel heavy in hand and have bright colors, as these are fresh, delicious, and nutritious bell peppers.
- Avoid choosing bell peppers that are soft, feel flimsy in hand, or have blemishes and cracks on the skin, as these are spoiled and lacking in nutrients.
- For this dish, you should choose male bell peppers (those with a tail that divides into 3 parts) as they will enhance the flavor of the dish and will not become mushy when grilled.
- Additionally, you should only buy bell peppers from reputable grocery stores or large supermarkets to ensure that the products have been quality tested and have a clear origin.
