Dressing-Stuffed Mini Peppers

Dressing-Stuffed Mini Peppers Recipe

We love these stuffed peppers as an appetizer, but you can also serve them as a side dish. Be sure to use baby bell peppers and not mini sweet peppers (shaped like jalapeños) so they're big enough to accommodate the filling.

Bulgur-Stuffed Mini Peppers Recipe

In the heat of summer, you'll be thankful for this raw, fresh, crunchy appetizer you can easily make ahead for guests. To keep things raw, we "cooked" the bulgur with a simple soak, where the grain is covered with warm tap water and sits for 30 minutes.

Stuffed Roasted Bell Peppers (Poivrons Farcis) Recipe

The peppers must first be blackened and blistered over an open flame or under the broiler to loosen the skins. The peeled pepper halves are then stuffed with fresh mozzarella or mild feta for this simple Provençal first course. Garnish them with anchovy fillets and olives, and then drizzle with herbed red pepper oil.

Stuffed Padrón Peppers Recipe

The nontraditional combo of Spanish peppers with a tangy cheddar and bread crumbs makes for an addictive appetizer--one that's even better with a cold beer. If you're subbing in sweet peppers, cut the cheese sticks a bit longer.

"I may never use ground meat in my peppers again," said Fran Parisi, Grace Parisi's mother, when she tried this super-flavorful sausage-stuffed version.
