GRILLED PEPPERS STUFFED WITH GOAT CHEESE - JUNIOR LEAGUE OF DENVER image

Categories     Vegetable     Quick & Easy     Backyard BBQ     Dinner

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 medium yellow bell pepper
1 medium red bell pepper
2 ounces soft goat cheese (chevre)
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded Monterey Jack cheese
2 tablespoons snipped fresh chives
2 tablespoons snipped fresh basil

Steps:

  • Cut the bell peppers lengthwise into halves, discarding the stem ends, seeds and membranes. Combine the bell peppers with a small amount of water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes. Drain cut side down on paper towels. Combine the goat cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, chives and basil in a bowl and mix well. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture into each bell pepper half. Fold an 18x24-inch sheet of foil in half to make a 12x18-inch rectangle. Arrange the bell pepper halves inside the foil. Bring up 2 opposite sides of the foil and seal with a double fold. Fold the remaining ends to completely enclose the bell peppers, allowing space for steam to build. Arrange the foil packet on a grill rack. Grill over medium to medium-hot coals for 5 to 6 minutes or until the bell peppers are tender-crisp and the cheese melts. To serve, cut each half into 2 wedges. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers: Look for peppers that are firm and have a deep, vibrant color. Avoid peppers that are bruised or have soft spots.
  • Prepare the peppers properly: Cut the peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and ribs. Rinse the peppers thoroughly and pat them dry.
  • Use a variety of fillings: You can use a variety of fillings for your stuffed peppers, such as rice, meat, vegetables, and cheese. Be creative and experiment with different flavors.
  • Season the filling well: Don't be afraid to season the filling generously. This will help to enhance the flavor of the peppers.
  • Cook the peppers until they are tender: The cooking time will vary depending on the type of peppers you are using and the filling. Cook the peppers until they are tender but still slightly firm.
  • Serve the peppers immediately: Stuffed peppers are best served immediately after they are cooked. You can garnish them with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of cheese.
