Recipe name: Mediterranean Roasted Stuffed Peppers
Recipe by: Ric Cunningham, Wheatfield, NY
History: Lots of fresh peppers one day and a flash of an idea while making souvlaki. Basically Greek in origin
Description: Roasted Stuffed Cherry Peppers
Preparation time: about 45 minutes
Serves: makes about 20 peppers
Amount/Measure/Ingredient:

1 pound fresh red cherry peppers (not pickled)
8 ounces fresh feta in brine
1 tin anchovies
fresh or roasted garlic cloves
fresh Greek oregano if available, do not use dried.
Good Greek or Italian extra virgin olive oil.
Preparation:

Remove stems from peppers and seed with a melon-baller. Place one garlic clove, one oregano leaf and a bit of anchovy (to taste), between 1/2 and 1 depending on pepper size, usually is good.
Fill pepper with feta cheese and drizzle with olive oil. Place in preheated (350 degree) oven or on the grill until peppers are soft or browned.
I use mini muffin tins for small batches to help keep them upright or crowd them in a pie pan so they won't move. Serve as an appetizer or for a party snack.
