    Feta Cheese Stuffed Peppers

    I love to stuff vegetables of any kind and this feta stuffed peppers make no exception. No kidding, I could and eat some kind of stuffed veggies every other week or so and never get tired. The possibilities are endless.

    Have a look at these stuffed vine leaves with ground meat, these vegetarian stuffed zucchini or these stuffed kohlrabies. So different and all so delicious!

    What kind of peppers do you need?

    • There are several sorts of peppers you can use to make this recipe.
    • They should be sweet pointed peppers, the exact sort will not matter that much.
    • What they all have in common is the mild, sweet taste, the elongated shape, and the fact that the flesh is thinner than in the case of bell pepper.
    • You can use either green or red peppers.

    Some sorts you could look for are:

    • Banana peppers: yellow, medium-sized sort of pepper with a mild, tangy taste.
    • Cubanelle: a sweet pepper sort, yellow when unripe and red when allowed to ripen.
    • Italian frying pepper: similar to the cubanelle pepper, but thinner and longer. In this case, try to get some that are not extremely thin as they would be more difficult to fill.
    • Roasting pimientos: long and red.

    Cheesy Stuffed Peppers

    Other ingredients:

    Dairy:

    • Use feta cheese from a block of cheese, not the already crumbled stuff, that will ruin the dish.
    • You can choose either sheep's or cow's feta, I've tried both sorts over the years and they are both great. Use the sort you like best.
    • You will need smaller amounts of cream cheese and milk as well. As much as to make the feta mixture nice and creamy.

    Herbs:

    • Fresh herbs are great if in season. I tend to cook these feta stuffed peppers in spring and summer when I have lots of herbs in the garden.
    • But don't stress about that, frozen parsley is a great option as well.
    • The thyme and the oregano can also be replaced with dried herbs as well, about 1 teaspoon of each.
    • Other herbs you could use are fresh or frozen dill, ysop, or a mixture of frozen Italian herbs.

    How to make?

    This is a super easy recipe:

    • Top the peppers and remove the seeds.
    • Crumble the feta and mix it with cream cheese, milk, olive oil, garlic and chopped herbs.
    • Stuff the peppers and place them in the baking dish.
    • Place the tomatoes in between the peppers and bake.

    How to serve?

    • Serve with fresh white bread, ciabatta or French baguette as a light main meal with a green salad on the side.

        Thank you, Dawn. My grandma really loved her stuffed veggies and I learned to love them from her as well. More now as when I was a kid. Cooked paprika was not high on my books then... 🙂

      In the morning is chilly, but we are still lucky to have a few more sunny days, should get colder next week... Season are nice (or were nice in Romania), but in Germany summer always comes too short.... Boiling hot sounds desirable to me now... 🙂
