2 small red bell peppers (5 to 6 ounces each), halved lengthwise through stem, seeds and ribs removed

Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees, with rack in top third. Place bell pepper halves, cut sides up, in a baking dish. Toss together tomatoes, feta, thyme, and basil in a medium bowl; season with black pepper. Fill each pepper with tomato and feta mixture, dividing evenly. Drizzle each with oil.

FETA STUFFED PEPPERS

HERBED FETA STUFFED MINI BELL PEPPERS



Herbed Feta Stuffed Mini Bell Peppers image

I recently got two pounds of mini bell peppers at Costco, and after eating about half of them raw (yum! they're so sweet and tasty!) we got to the point where I needed to find something else to do with them. Here's what I came up with, and having just eaten one, I can assure you they're absolutely delicious! These can be either baked (which I usually do), or eaten uncooked.

Provided by Julesong

Categories     Cheese

Time 55m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb orange bell peppers or 1 lb yellow bell pepper
1 1/2 cups crumbled feta cheese
2 tablespoons sherry wine
1/3 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon minced dried basil or 1 tablespoon minced fresh basil
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon dried ancho chile powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt or 1/4 teaspoon salt or seasoning salt, to taste (I use Johnny's)

Steps:

  • Cut the tops off the mini bell peppers and take out the seeds and larger white veins; rinse out with water, then set aside.
  • Put the crumbled feta cheese in a bowl and add the sherry; toss to coat.
  • Mix together well the remaining ingredients in a separate bowl, then add the mixture to the feta cheese and toss to mix them all well.
  • Spray a large casserole dish (I use a large oval white Corning Ware) with an olive oil mister or pan spray.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Stuff each mini bell pepper with the herbed feta mixture, making sure there's a good amount of feta in each pepper; place peppers in the casserole dish.
  • When all peppers are stuffed, place cover on casserole dish and bake in oven for 30 to 45 minutes until peppers are nice and soft and the cheese is melted. If too much of the cheese melts out of the peppers, use a spoon to put it back in. :)
  • Serve and enjoy!

GREEK STUFFED PEPPERS WITH FETA & MIZITHRA CHEESES



Greek Stuffed Peppers with Feta & Mizithra Cheeses image

This quick & easy stuffed pepper recipe is usually served as a summer "meze" appetizer with a glass of white wine or ouzo. Many times it's enjoyed as a side dish or even a light meal (like we did today) The recipe calls for Cubanelle peppers, long & tapered, light green in color, and sweet. Note: If you have some stuffing...

Provided by Maria *

Categories     Other Main Dishes

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

10 cubanelle peppers
1 c feta cheese
1/2 c ricotta cheese
1/2 c mizithra cheese
3-4 Tbsp parsley, finely chopped
1 Tbsp heaping,dill, finely chopped
1 small onion,finely chopped
3 Tbsp olive oil for stuffing
pepper, to taste
red pepper flakes (optional)
olive oil for drizzling on peppers

Steps:

  • 1. Wash the peppers, slice the cap off the peppers, and set aside to use later. Scoop out the seeds, carefully though not to break or tear the peppers.
  • 2. In a bowl mix & mash the cheeses with a fork, add the onion, parsley, dill, olive oil, and pepper to your taste. If you like to have a slight kick add some red pepper flakes (I don't always add) Also I don't add salt due to the cheese, especially the feta cheese is a salty cheese. So before stuffing the peppers taste the filling and adjust to your liking.
  • 3. With a small spoon or your fingers (I use my fingers)stuff the peppers with the cheese mixture. Carefully pressing down to completely fill the peppers, to 1/2 inch from the top. Press a small piece of bread into each pepper to keep the cheese from melting out while cooking. Place the caps back on each pepper.
  • 4. Lightly brush a baking or pyrex dish with olive oil and add the peppers, placing them one next to the other. Drizzle the peppers with olive oil.
  • 5. Bake in 350* F preheated oven, on highest rack for about 20 minutes. At 10 minutes turn peppers. When ready, remove from oven and serve! KALI OREXI! ENJOY

Stir for about 30 seconds, until coated with oil and garlic, and season with salt and pepper. Stir in the rice, toss, together, and remove from the heat.
  • Transfer the rice mixture to a bowl and stir in the mint, feta and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Spoon the rice and chard mixture into the peppers and place the peppers upright in a lidded saucepan or skillet. Mix together the water, lemon juice, salt to taste, optional tomato paste and remaining olive oil and add to the pan. Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat, cover and simmer 40 minutes, until the peppers are tender. Remove the lid and allow to cool in the pan.
