Peppers stuffed with cheese

Πιπεριές γεμιστές με τυρί φέτα

Ingredients

  • 10-12 small red or green peppers
  • 250 g feta cheese [or 150g feta and 100gr mizithra]
  • 1/2 bunch fresh parsley finely chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic finely chopped
  • 2 tbsps of EVOO for the stuffing plus extra to drizzle
  • Sea salt and ground black pepper to taste

Optional for stuffing

  • 2 ripe tomatoes finely chopped
  • 1 tsp smoked bukovo chilli flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200Add the peppers to a pot of boiling salted water and leave them for 5 minutes, until softened. Remove and dry well on paper towel. Lay the peppers so they sit flat. Cut a little strip from the upper side and carefully remove all of the seeds.
  2. In a separate bowl, prepare the stuffing. Mash the feta and mix in the mizithra, parsley, garlic, EVOO and tomato/chilli (if using). Season to taste, noting the feta will be salty. Fill each of the pepper 'boats' with a little of the cheese mixture.
  3. Place the peppers on a greased baking tray, drizzle with a little more EVOO and bake in the oven for about 30 minutes until golden brown. To get a nice colour for the last 10 minutes, bake under the oven grill.
  4. Serve warm with good quality bread, a salad of your choice and some fried potatoes.
