Capsicum/ Paprika Stirfry

I love to have my ripe red or yellow capsicum raw, or even better, its juice extracted from a low juicer. It  took me a while to drink this juice as I was not a fan of the paprika. In Udupi  where I grew up we only got small green ones which were not my favourite at all. These green ones have a strong taste, while the red & the yellow ones are very sweet and you can just  eat them raw.

During hot summer days Jan & myself would bike all the way to the Hague Market just to    buy them in bulk   to extract juice. Once I started enjoying it I realised how SO YUMMY it was ! And full of vitamins too!
