What we are making for French Fridays with Dorie.
These ingredients screamed fajitas to me so that is what I made.
Dorie says “Think of it as a salsa from Southwest France”. But I did not want raw onions, raw garlic and habanero in my dinner.
To quote Mardi Michels I went rogue with this recipe. I cooked the onions along with the peppers and added the garlic with the red wine vinegar. It turned out perfect for fajitas. I served these along with tequila chicken. Everyone enjoyed the meal including my son.
Inspired by Liz Berg I made Dorie’s vanilla ice cream and warm caramel sauce. Best vanilla ice cream ever, will definitely be making this again.

Now the hubby would have eaten the peppers if I had put them in fajitas. Great idea! And that ice cream was marvelous, wasn't it? Thanks for the mention!

I thought raw onions wouldn't taste good, but the red onions work raw, they were actually sweet. So you didn't cook the peppers with vinegar, you put it on after? I do hope you try cooking it on, it really tastes different and surprisingly good. I think fajitas was a fabulous uses of this piperade. I'm going to try that myself.

Serving these with fajitas sounds great, real fusion food! A French version of a Basque specialty with a Mexican twist!

It's hard to focus on peppers when you have ice cream with caramel sauce 🙂 Your whole dinner sounds delicious.
