Fried Long Peppers

This is one of my favorite summertime recipes. It has very minimal ingredients and is usually made with fresh, long peppers from the garden. They can be eaten alone, with a rustic piece of Italian bread or my favorite way, on a sandwich. It's a great way to use up that abundance of peppers from your garden!
