ITALIAN STUFFED CUBANELLE PEPPERS



Italian Stuffed Cubanelle Peppers image

I got this delicious recipe from a family friend when looking for something to do with all the extra Cubanelle peppers in my garden. I love the versatility in this recipe because I have a vegetarian; I omit the sausage in the mixture when making a batch for her, and everyone can enjoy this flavorful dish. It can be served with your favorite Italian pasta sauce for extra flair. It's delicious with side of pasta and fresh Italian garlic bread.

CHICKEN-STUFFED CUBANELLE PEPPERS



Chicken-Stuffed Cubanelle Peppers image

Here's a different take on traditional stuffed peppers. I substituted chicken for the beef and used Cubanelle peppers in place of the green peppers that are usually featured in such a dish. -Ron Burlingame, Canton, Ohio

SARASOTA'S CHORIZO AND BLACK BEAN STUFFED CUBANELLE PEPPERS



Sarasota's Chorizo and Black Bean Stuffed Cubanelle Peppers image

I love these on the grill, but if the weather is not cooperating, the oven will work just fine. A spicy, cheesy stuffing with fresh vegetables make this a wonderful side dish. Cut in half, stuffed high and baked or grilled until golden brown and the peppers get tender. Serve these with some grilled chicken and fresh fruit, or as a main course with a side of rice and a salad make for great dinners.

Time 1h

Yield 8-10 Pepper Halves, 4-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 large cubanelle peppers, cut in half lengthwise and seeds and ribs removed, I like to leave the stem in tact (Banana or Anaheims will work fine, depending on the size of the peppers, you may need 5 peppers)
3 chorizo sausage, links (soft chorizo, Mexican not the Spanish, hard chorizo)
1 jalapeno, diced fine (I leave some of the seeds and ribs in for a little spice)
1 cup onion, diced fine
1 celery rib, diced fine
3 large plum tomatoes, seeded and diced
1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 large egg
2 slices bread
3/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, fine chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
3/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • Sausage -- Remove the sausage from the casing by cutting in the middle and then just squeeze out the sausage. Simply saute in a small skillet on medium heat until golden brown. It will take about 5-8 minutes. Remove the sausage to a small plate lined with a paper towel to drain.
  • Vegetables -- In the same pan with a little of the drippings from the chorizo (just a teaspoon is all you need), saute the garlic, onion, jalapeno, and celery until tender, then add in the black beans and tomato and cook another minute or two. Transfer the mixture to a medium size bowl.
  • Filling -- To the bowl with the vegetables, add in the chorizo, cheeses (both parm and mozzarella), egg, cilantro, dried oregano, salt and pepper.
  • Soak the 2 bread slices in milk for just 10 seconds and then squeeze out the liquid. Just pull apart and break up the fresh bread to add to your filling. Mix everything together.
  • Peppers -- Stuff the pepper halves with the filling and top with the parmesan and mozzarella.
  • Bake -- I prefer to grill (they take about 20 minutes on a medium heat), or bake on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, foil, or just sprayed with non-stick spray at 375 degrees until the peppers get soft (about 30 minutes).
  • Serve -- As I said, serve as a main dish with some rice and a tossed salad or as a side to some grilled chicken and fresh fruit. They are just great! ENJOY.

SARASOTA'S BLACK BEAN CHORIZO CHILI



Sarasota's Black Bean Chorizo Chili image

My absolute favorite. Every time I serve this I get requests for the recipe. It is spicy, but you can easily adjust the seasoning to your liking. The chorizo adds a nice warm spicy flavor and creamy beans are the perfect mix. It makes a big pot, and has quite a few ingredients, but it is well worth it and it really isn't very hard. Now, I like to simmer it a good hour before serving, so I like to make this when I have a little time, and it is one of those dishes that is even better the next day. Serve this like any chili ... with a side of corn bread and topped with your favorites; avocado, salsa, black olives, sour cream and cheese are my favorites.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6-8 Bowls, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 22

4 chorizo sausage links, casing removed and sauteed (Mexican is the soft chorizo, whereas Spanish chorizo is the hard cured chorizo, you want to use Mexi)
3 (15 ounce) cans black beans (2 drained and rinsed, 1 drained and not rinsed)
1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans (drained and not rinsed)
1.5 (22 ounce) cans diced tomatoes, undrained
1 (15 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 cup corn, thawed (frozen works great, but canned is just fine, I love white corn personally, but not necessary)
1 (15 ounce) can chicken broth
1 large sweet onion, chopped (if you like less onion, use a medium onion)
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 green pepper, diced
2 celery ribs, diced (include the leaves, also chopped fine)
1 -2 jalapeno, chopped fine (seeds and ribs removed if you want it a bit milder, leave the ribs and seeds in if you want a bit mo)
1 -2 chipotle chile in adobo, minced fine and chopped, 1 teaspoon of the sauce (optional)
3 tablespoons garlic, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
1 lime (1/2 juiced in the chili, 1/2 cut in wedges for a garnish)
1 teaspoon olive oil
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Chorizo and Vegetables -- In a large pot, add the olive oil and bring to medium high heat. Add the chorizo and saute until golden brown. Reduce the heat to medium and add in the celery, onion, garlic, red and green peppers, jalapenos, chipotles and cook 4-5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
  • Beans and Sauce -- Add the beans, tomatoes, chicken broth, chili powder, cumin, and oregano and mix well. Simmer of medium low to low heat for 1 our. After 30 minutes, check for seasoning (salt and pepper), and if you want a little more heat you could add a little chipotle sauce. But be careful - it is a subtle heat. Don't add too much.
  • Finish -- After an hour, it's time to enjoy. Finish by squeezing in 1/2 of the lime, cilantro and adding the corn. Cook just another couple of minutes to heat up the corn.
  • Serve -- I like the favorites. Served with diced avocado, salsa, cheese (pepper jack), black olives, sour cream and the lime wedges. Corn bread as always with chili - on the side or you can use some tortilla chips. Blue corn chips are great with this. ENJOY!

Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers. Cubanelle peppers are the traditional choice for this dish, but you can also use other mild peppers, such as bell peppers or poblano peppers.
  • Prepare the peppers properly. Cut the peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and ribs. This will help prevent the peppers from getting too spicy.
  • Use high-quality chorizo. The chorizo is one of the main ingredients in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality chorizo. Look for a chorizo that is made with fresh pork and has a good flavor.
  • Don't overcook the peppers. The peppers should be cooked until they are tender, but not mushy. Overcooked peppers will lose their flavor and texture.
  • Serve the peppers immediately. These peppers are best served hot out of the oven. You can garnish them with cilantro, sour cream, or salsa.

Conclusion:

Chorizo and black bean stuffed Cubanelle peppers are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a party or a weeknight meal. The peppers are filled with a flavorful mixture of chorizo, black beans, rice, and cheese, and then baked until they are tender. These peppers are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
