things people ask

• When does a recipe call for tablespoons of bell pepper instead of cups?
  Usually when the pepper is an accent, not a base. Think relish, tartar sauce, deviled-egg filling, a confetti garnish over hummus, or the small amount folded into a single-serving omelet. Pickled bell pepper relishes also tend to be measured by the tablespoon because a little brine-soaked pepper goes a long way against eggs or grilled fish.
• How fine should the dice be for a tablespoon measure?
  Aim for roughly 3 to 5 millimeter pieces — small enough to scoop cleanly into a measuring spoon without one chunk dominating. A rough chop will give you wildly variable tablespoon weights, anywhere from 5 to 12 grams, because a single big piece can fill the spoon. Keep the cuts small and even and 9 grams per tablespoon will hold.
• Can I substitute jarred roasted peppers tablespoon for tablespoon?
  Roughly, but the math shifts. Jarred roasted peppers are softer, drained of crunch, and often packed in oil or brine, so a tablespoon weighs more — closer to 12 to 14 grams once you blot them. They also bring vinegar or smoke flavor a raw bell pepper doesn't. Use them in spreads and dressings, not where the recipe wants raw crunch.
