What are Stuffed Roasted Peppers?
These stuffed roasted peppers are whole peppers that are roasted and filled with rabiola cheese. While many roasted pepper recipes might be fitting for an entire meal with fillings of ground meat and rice, this version results in smaller stuffed peppers that can be eaten in a few bites.
Rabiola cheese is a soft Italian cheese that is made with a mixture of goat, sheep, and cow’s milk. Its soft texture makes it perfect for mixing with basil, salt, and pepper for a spreadable cheese.
Pro Tips
- Don’t skip the step of sweating the roasted peppers in a plastic bag as this will ensure they are easy to peel.
- Marinating the roasted pepper slices with olive oil and garlic will ensure they have the best flavour!
- If you can’t find rabiola cheese where you live, ricotta or chevre would make excellent replacements.
- If you don’t have fresh basil on hand, you could replace it with chopped parsley or oregano.
- Use a mixture of different colors of bell peppers for an attractive appearance.
