Stuffed Romano Peppers Ingredients
- 4 sweet Romano peppers
- 1 fresh red chilli
- 1/2 clove of garlic
- 1 pack of feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon of capers
- handful of fresh basil leaves
- olive oil
- salt and pepper
- dried oregano
Method
Carefully take a sharp knife and make a slit down the length of each pepper. With a teaspoon gently scrape out the seeds/pith from inside each peppers being careful not to tear them open.
Slice up the feta and place length ways inside each pepper. Finely chop the chilli and distribute it evenly through out the peppers along with the capers, oregano and basil leaves. Add a drizzle of olive oil to each pepper along with a good twist of black pepper. You may not need to add salt as the feta cheese is usually quite salty.
Place the stuffed peppers onto a baking tray, drizzle lightly with olive oil and bake at about 180 degrees for about 30 minutes, until the peppers are just starting to brown but still have a little crunch to them.
