Peppers stuffed with feta cheese make this a mouth-watering appetizer that everyone will love.
Prep Time: 15M
Cooking Time: 20M
Serves: Serves 4
Ingredients:
- 51/2oz (150g) feta cheese
- 3 garlic cloves, crushed through a press
- 1 tbsp finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 12 fresh piquillo peppers (see Cook's Notes)
- 4 tbsp olive oil
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Combine the feta, garlic, parsley, and pepper in a bowl and mash together with a fork to form a smooth paste.
- Cut the stem end off the peppers. Using a melon baller, remove the seeds and membranes from inside the peppers, then stuff with the feta mixture. Brush with oil, then pack tightly into a small baking dish. Spoon the remaining oil over the top and bake for 20 minutes, until the peppers are tender. Serve hot.
Tips:
- If you can't get fresh piquillo peppers, use some from a jar and drain well before using.
