Stufffed Hot (or mild) Banana Peppers Ala Ange
Posted: Thu Jul 22, 2010 10:55 amI made the stuffing for the peppers on wednesday 7/22 on camera in retreat and people were asking for the recipe, so here it is!
6 large cloves garlic minced
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs(store brand)
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
6 ounces cream cheese (softened.. I microwaved it for 30 seconds)
3 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese
4 ounces gorgonzola or blue cheese - crumbled coarsely -
place ingredients in bowl and mix well...I used a dinner fork...add more olive oil if needed.....it should have the consistency of a moist turkey stuffing!! I then refrigerated it while i prepared my peppers:
cut off 1/4 inch (or less) of stem end of pepper
using the tip of knife,make a slit lenght wise from top to tip
make another slit about 1/4 inch (or less) parallel to it
using your finger and running water scrape out seeds & pith
spread it open quite a bit and run water through it
now take stuffing and proceed to fill peppers ...i have pictures of finished peppers..just ask me and ill post them some how..... I them placed them on a sheet tray in a preheated oven...400 degrees F drizzled with olive oil..and baked them for 20 min. stuffing side up!! thats all...any questions?? please let me know by PM i can explain in more detail and give you pictures too!! ange \0/
