Ingredients
  

FETA FILLING

  • ½ cup Sour Cream
  • 1 cup Feta Cheese, crumbled
  • 1 clove Garlic, minced
  • 1 each Lemon, zested
  • ½ each Lemon, juiced
  • ½ cup Mixed Fresh Herbs, chopped (Parsley, cilantro, oregano, etc.)
  • 2 each Scallions, minced
  • 3 tbsp Kalamata or Greek Olives, pitted and minced
  • 1 tsp Olive Oil
  • To Taste Salt and Pepper
  • 2 tbsp Zaatar Spice Blend (Optional)
  • 1 or 2 each Jalapenos, minced (Optional)

PEPPERS

  • 2 lbs. Mini Sweet Bell Peppers
  • 1 tsp Olive Oil or Pan Spray
  • 1 pinch Salt

Instructions
 

  • For the Feta filling, mix all ingredients in a medium-sized bowl. You can easily adapt the filling to your taste by adding more or deleting ingredients as you see fit. The filling can also be made ahead of time and stored until needed in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  • To prepare the peppers, wash and then cut the stem end tops off each. Use a fork as needed to insert into the cut pepper and remove the seeds by rotating and scooping.
  • Use a teaspoon to stuff each pepper with the filling. Do not overfill as it will just spill out and be lost during cooking.
  • Use the olive oil or pan spray to lightly grease the stuffed peppers, and then sprinkle them all with a little salt before cooking.
  • The stuffed peppers can be cooked in a variety of ways. You can place them under a preheated broiler for 5 to 7 minutes until they are charred and tender. Or on top of a hot grill, cooking for 3 minutes or so per side. Serve hot right away or chill in the fridge and serve cold. They can be stored cooked in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
