We ran a lot of errands today and while we have great CSA share, we all crave different veggies at times, even when they are not in season. We try to eat low carb as much as possible, and sometimes a guy needs something other than salad. My whole family loves peppers. We picked up some of those cute baby peppers from Costco and stuffed them and had a baby lettuce salad on the side. The salad had the usual suspects that I use when I make a quick salad: dried cranberries, almonds, apples, and crumbled goat cheese. We had pretty much the same thing a few days ago, but try it: dried fruit, nuts, apples, and a soft cheese (any cheese that is not mozzarella or cheddar) on a salad are pretty much awesome, with a nice acidic dressing of course.
Ingredients:
20 baby peppers, top cut off and seeded
8 oz cream cheese
1 cup shredded cheese (a blend, cheddar, pepperjack, whatever you have)
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1 egg, beaten
salt and cayenne pepper to taste
Steam peppers about 8 minutes to soften. Allow peppers to cool. Put other ingredients in food processor or mixer and mix well. Stuff peppers and bake at 425 until peppers are blistered. Serve as an appetizer, or with a salad.
These went fast, I didn't get a picture until they were almost gone, I should have added an egg. This recipe didn't have one. Don't be like me, add the egg. It binds.
