GRILLED PEPPERS STUFFED WITH GOAT CHEESE - JUNIOR LEAGUE OF DENVER



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 ripe, firm bell peppers for even cooking and a slightly sweet flavor.
  • Use a variety of colors of bell peppers for a visually appealing dish.
  • Remove the seeds and ribs from the peppers to make them easier to stuff and to reduce bitterness.
  • If you don't have goat cheese, you can substitute another type of soft cheese, such as feta, ricotta, or cream cheese.
  • Use a flavorful breadcrumb mixture to add texture and flavor to the stuffing.
  • Season the stuffing generously with herbs and spices.
  • Grill the peppers over medium heat until they are tender and slightly charred.
  • Serve the peppers immediately with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.

Grilled peppers stuffed with goat cheese is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course.
