Stuffed Piquillo Peppers with Chorizo and Manchego image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 small onion, finely diced
Kosher salt
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
1 garlic clove, smashed and finely chopped
1/4 pound chorizo, casing removed and finely chopped
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/2 cup grated aged Manchego
1/2 bunch Italian parsley, leaves finely chopped
1 (10-ounce) jar piquillo peppers, drained and patted dry
2 cups washed baby arugula
1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted
2 scallions, white and green, cut very thin on the bias
Sherry vinegar
Big fat finishing extra-virgin olive oil (high quality)

Steps:

  • Coat a saute pan, over medium heat, with olive oil. Add the onion, season with salt, to taste, and toss in the crushed red pepper. Saute the onions until they are soft and very aromatic, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for 2 to 3 more minutes. Stir in the chorizo and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the bread crumbs. Let the mixture cool. When cool, add the Manchego and parsley. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if needed.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Stuff the peppers with the filling and arrange them on a sheet pan. If there is extra stuffing, press a little on top of each of the peppers. Put the peppers in the oven to warm through, about 8 minutes.
  • While the peppers are in the oven, combine the arugula, almonds and scallions in a large bowl. Dress the salad with sherry vinegar, big fat finishing oil and salt, to taste. Check for seasoning and divide the salad between 4 serving plates.
  • Remove the peppers from the oven and arrange 2 peppers on each salad. Serve while the peppers are warm.

MINI STUFFED PEPPERS

Categories     appetizer

Time 50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 mini sweet bell peppers
1 cup long-grain white rice
1 pound lean ground beef
1 medium sweet onion, such as Vidalia, diced
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
One 10-ounce can diced tomatoes and green chilies, such as Rotel
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
8 ounces sharp Cheddar, grated

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Cut the bell peppers in half top to bottom and remove the seeds and ribs. Set aside. Cook the rice in a medium saucepan following the package directions.
  • In a medium skillet, brown the ground beef with the onion and garlic over medium-high heat, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain any excess fat from the meat and remove the skillet from the heat. Combine the ground beef mixture, rice, tomatoes, black pepper and salt in a large bowl and mix until blended.
  • In a 9-by-13-by-2-inch baking dish, place the bell peppers cut-side up. Evenly divide the beef mixture among the pepper halves. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and sprinkle the Cheddar on top. Return the pan to the oven, uncovered, and bake until the cheese melts, about 5 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers: Mini sweet peppers are the perfect size for stuffing. They are also mild in flavor, so they won't overpower the other ingredients.
  • Prep the peppers properly: Cut off the tops of the peppers and remove the seeds. Be careful not to cut too deeply, or the peppers will fall apart.
  • Use a flavorful chorizo: The chorizo is the star of the show in this recipe, so make sure to use a good quality one. A Spanish chorizo with a smoky paprika flavor is a great choice.
  • Don't overcook the chorizo: Chorizo is a cured sausage, so it doesn't need to be cooked for long. Overcooking will make it tough and dry.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: A blend of cheeses will give the filling a more complex flavor and texture. A good option is to use a combination of mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake the peppers until they are tender: The peppers should be tender but still slightly firm. Overbaking will make them mushy.

Conclusion:

Chorizo stuffed mini sweet peppers are a delicious and easy appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can be made ahead of time. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your guests. So next time you are looking for a fun and flavorful recipe, give chorizo stuffed mini sweet peppers a try. You won't be disappointed!
