Here is something Peter Piper might make, especially if Peter Piper wanted an accompaniment to his nice, cold beer, which he was ready to enjoy on a sunny autumn afternoon. It’s something a little bit different than beer nuts as finger food.
(Yes, I realize I’m writing about cocktails and it’s only Monday.)
(Some people enjoy cocktails on Mondays. They don’t wait until week’s end. Why wait? There’s no need to judge people. It’s been a long week.)
(Yes, already. I can already tell you it’s been a long week.)
Anyhow, here’s what you can do if you have a pile of peppers from your garden. I had these:
But you may use any pepper variety you like. Use your judgement.
Place peppers directly on a medium-high grill straight from the garden.
Let them wilt and blacken in spots, according to your liking, about twenty minutes. Close the grill top, but check the peppers often, turning them occasionally. In a large bowl, toss the cooked peppers with freshly squeezed lime juice and coarse salt to taste. Arrange them as finger food on a serving platter, a pleasing accompaniment to that beer I was discussing earlier. I’m no expert, but I say they pair well with tequila shots. Or white wine. Or gin and tonics. Or beer shots with whiskey chasers followed by cosmopolitans, a few martinis and an ambulance. (You’ll need one and not because of the peppers.)
Finger food! Who needs nuts?
These would definitely be a great snack with a beverage or two!

It always seems like a long week, even on a short week! Lovely peppers which would be equally good, stuffed with say, blue cheese and fig to be enjoyed alongside a martini or perhaps kerplunked (yes, that is a word) into a spicy Bloody Mary! Cheers.
Now you’re thinking😉
