Categories     appetizer

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 large roasted red peppers, drained well and dried
4 (1-inch) thick slabs scamorza or provolone cheese, a few inches wide
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
A handful finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano leaves or 1 teaspoon dried
1 lemon, zested and juiced
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Kitchen twine, cut into 4 (8-inch) lengths, soaked in water

Steps:

  • Slice the peppers open and reserve. Add the cheese to a shallow dish and sprinkle with the red pepper flakes, parsley, oregano, a little lemon zest, lemon juice and a liberal drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil. Toss to coat the cheese chunks in the marinade. Wrap each chunk in a roasted pepper and tie with twine to make a bundle.
  • Heat grill pan or outdoor grill to medium, and grill the bundles until the peppers are evenly charred and cheese is browning at edges, about 8 to10 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and serve.

ROASTED RED BELL PEPPERS

Provided by riffraff

Categories     Peppers

Time 20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

4 red bell peppers
olive oil flavored cooking spray

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450F degrees.
  • Wash peppers and cut in half.
  • Remove seeds and stems.
  • Place upside down (skin side up) on a cookie sheet coated with olive oil spray.
  • Bake for 10-15 minutes or so, until skin of pepper is seriously black.
  • Make sure there are no sparks or actively burning ashes on the peppers and place peppers in a brown bag for about 10-15 minutes. This steams the peppers so the skins easily peel off. Rinsing peppers takes away all the roasted flavor, so don't let me catch you doing that.
  • Let cool so you can touch them.
  • Skin will peel off easily.
  • Cut halves into strips, or however you need them to be cut.
  • Now you know how to roast a red pepper!
  • Good for: Chicken, cheese sauces, tomato sauces, topped on foccacia bread, or a million other things!
  • You can also roast a pepper by placing it directly on the burner of a gas stove (NOT ELECTRIC!) turning with tongs every few minutes till skin is black. Continue with paper bag step.
