My husband loves these peppers. I usually used them in dishes, substituting for regular bell peppers, but I wanted to make the peppers the focus of a dish. I went to a Mexican restaurant and saw chile rellenos on the menu which sparked a thought of stuffing these mini peppers. Here's the recipe.
Ingredients:
- 12 Mini Bell Peppers
- 2 tbsp lemon Juice
- 2-3 tbsp olive oil
Stuffing:
- 4-5 Boiled potatoes, coarsely mashed
- 2-3 tbsp Chili, ginger, & garlic paste
- 1/4 cup coriander, finely chopped
- 1 Cup (adjust to taste) finely grated Parmesan cheese
- Red chilli powder to taste
- 1 tsp Turmeric powder
- 1/2 tsp clove powder
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
- 1-2 tsp chaat masala
- lemon juice to taste
- Salt to taste
- 2 tsp sugar (optional)
Method:
- Mix all the ingredients for the stuffing together and adjust the seasoning to your taste. Set aside.
- Wash the peppers & cut off the tops and take the seeds and membrane out.
- Brush the inside of the peppers with lemon juice and oil.
- Stuff the peppers with the stuffing and sprinkle some more Parmesan cheese on top to give the peppers a golden brown crust.
- Take an oven safe pan, grease it well with oil and arrange the stuffed peppers in a row leaving a little gap between each. Brush some oil on them & keep ready.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Bake the stuffed mini sweet peppers for 15-20 minutes till the outer skin turns light, crispy and starts to shrink.
- Enjoy this Stuffed Sweet Peppers as a starter.
