Grilled Peppers stuffed with Feta Cheese & Dried Tomatoes

A perfect side dish to be served with any grilled meat or poultry.  It is quick to prepare and tastes delicious like those sold in mediterranean shops.


Ingredients:
500 g green peppers (I suggest that you buy medium-sized peppers)
10 stalks fresh basil, leaves to be finely chopped or 1 tbsp dried basil
80 g dried soft tomatoes, to be finely chopped
300 g Feta cheese
200 g double cream cheese (i.e. Philadelphia)
ground pepper to taste

Method:
Cut off the stalk of green peppers and remove seeds.  Wash peppers and dry thoroughly.


In a bowl, add cream cheese, dried tomatoes and basil.  Crumble Feta cheese into bowl and season with ground pepper.  Mix thoroughly.


Stuff each pepper with cheese filling and leave aside.  Note:  Do not overstuff the peppers!


Place stuffed peppers on a grill tray before grilling.  Grill over high heat, turning them often for about 10 to 12 minutes.  Serve grilled peppers as a side dish or just with toasted turkish bread.  The Feta cheese filling is awesome when eaten with with any kind of bread.

Bon Appetit!
