Stuffed Shishito Peppers Recipe
Description
This recipe starts by softening cream cheese and folding in diced dry salami, garlic powder, and black pepper to create a flavorful filling. Shishito peppers are slit along one side to open a cavity, which is then filled with the cheese mixture. The stuffed peppers are arranged on a baking sheet and sprayed lightly with oil to promote blistering.
Placed under the broiler, the peppers blister and char slightly, while the cheese filling melts and browns to a golden finish. The contrast between the tender, smoky peppers and the rich, savory filling defines this dish.
Typically served warm, these stuffed shishito peppers work well as a snack or appetizer. The recipe quantity yields about 30 filled peppers, depending on their size, making it suitable for gatherings or finger food service.
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb shishito pepper
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 4 oz salami diced, dry
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Take the cream cheese out of the refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature. Move oven rack to middle of oven and turn broiler on.
- Dice the salami into small pieces and add to a bowl with the cream cheese. Add the garlic powder and black pepper. Stir to blend thoroughly.
- Lay the shishito peppers out on a lined baking sheet and see how they lay. With a small paring knife cut a slit down the side facing up on each one (from below stem to almost the tip).
- Using a teaspoon, fill the pepper cavity and press sides together to hold cheese salami filling.
- Spray all of the stuffed shishitos with cooking spray or olive oil. Place tray in oven and broil for 5 minutes. Shishito peppers should blister and cheese filling turns a golden brown. Serve warm. Makes 30+ depending on size of shishito peppers.
