Preparation time: 15 minutes
Chilling time: 30 minutes
Total time: 45 minutes
Number of servings: 6 stuffed peppers
Necessary ingredients:
- 6 small red peppers (for an explosion of color and taste)
- 1 can of Delaco "Ceva Fin" cream cheese with sour cream and green olives (creaminess and flavor)
- 1 stick of butter cream (for a smooth texture)
- 5-6 leaves of fresh basil (fresh aroma)
- 100 g feta cheese (a touch of saltiness)
- 100 g roasted and salted peanuts (crunchiness and delicious taste)
Step-by-step preparation:
1. Preparing the peppers: Start by washing the peppers well under a stream of cold water. They will not only add a pleasant appearance to your dish but also a special flavor. Carefully cut off the stems and remove the seeds to create a generous space for the filling.
2. Creating the filling: In a food processor, combine the Delaco "Ceva Fin" cream cheese, feta cheese, butter cream, and basil leaves. Process the ingredients until you obtain a smooth and homogeneous paste. This will be the delicious base for your stuffed peppers.
3. Adding the peanuts: Add the roasted and salted peanuts to the cheese mixture and pulse a few times so that they remain slightly crunchy, adding an interesting texture to the filling.
4. Stuffing the peppers: Using a spoon or a piping bag, fill each pepper with the cream cheese, making sure to fill them well but not overstuffing. Place the stuffed peppers on a platter and refrigerate for about 30 minutes. This will allow the filling to firm up a bit, giving them a more stable shape when served.
5. Serving: After they have been in the fridge, remove the peppers and cut them into slices about 2-3 cm thick. These colorful slices will look splendid on the plate and will be extremely appealing to your guests!
Useful tips:
- You can also use yellow or green peppers for a variety of colors and flavors.
- If you prefer a spicier taste, add a few slices of hot pepper to the filling.
- This recipe can be easily adapted; try replacing feta cheese with goat cheese for a more intense flavor.
Nutritional benefits:
These stuffed peppers are not only delicious but also full of nutrients. Peppers are an excellent source of vitamin C, and peanuts provide protein and healthy fats. Consuming cheese ensures calcium and beneficial probiotics.
