Ingredients
- 6 bell pepper colored varieties
- 1 red onion small
- 1 cup croutons I used Parmesan crisps that I processed into crumbs, crumbs
- 1 cup walnuts or pine nuts
- 1/2 cup kalamata olives pitted
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil
- 2 ounces butter melted (2 ounces = 1/4 cup or 1/2 stick, unsalted
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese shredded
- 1 Tbsp rosemary minced, fresh leaves
- 1 Tbsp thyme fresh leaves
garnish
- goat cheese crumbled
- thyme fresh leaves
Instructions
- set the oven to 350°F.
- Wash the peppers and trim the stem tops off. For flat shaped peppers, I cut them in half lengthwise. Clean out the insides and then fit the peppers snugly into a casserole dish. If any of them don't stand straight you can carefully cut a bit off the bottom where it's uneven.
- Put the crumbs in a large mixing bowl.
- Peel and cut the onion into quarters. Pulse it in the food processor to finely mince. Remove to the bowl with the crumbs. Do the same with the walnuts, olives, and tomatoes, and add to the mixing bowl.
- Toss everything in the bowl with the butter, cheese, and herbs. and mix until well combined.
- Stuff each pepper with the mixture, and then add about 1/2 cup water to the bottom of the casserole. Cover loosely with foil and cook for about 30-40 minutes, just until the peppers are beginning to soften and everything is heated through. You can cook them a little longer if you like your peppers softer. I prefer them on the firm side. Your cooking time is going to depend on the size of your particular peppers, mine were fairly small.
- Garnish with the goat cheese and rosemary, and enjoy!
