Cottage Cheese Stuffed Peppers

Pepper is one of the vegetables that we use daily in our Albanian culinary tradition, consuming raw in salads or baked, roasted, fried, boiled in various recipes. I like to share a simple, but tasty Cottage Cheese Stuffed Peppers. For this recipe, we can use green, yellow, or red peppers, in a long and narrow shape, not bell one.

Ingredients – 4 Servings

• 10- green or red peppers
• 150-200 g cottage cheese
• 50-100 g feta cheese
• 1-2 tbsp finely chopped parsley
• 1-tsp dry oregano
• 1-2 finely chopped garlic cloves
• 3-4 tbsp olive oil
• salt, pepper

Directions

1. Preheat the oven at 180°C/350°F.
2. Rinse the peppers, dry, and cut them on the top and clean by seeds and the internal membrane that keeps the seeds.
3. In a bowl, prepare the fill for the stuffed peppers.
4. Add the cottage cheese. I prefer unsalted cottage cheese. Add the crushed feta cheese, the herbs, garlic, olive oil, and mix.
5. Grease a baking dish and start to stuff the pepper with the mixture helping by a spoon. Transfer the stuffed peppers in the baking dish, and bake them in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown. 

Let them cool, and transfer in a warm serving dish, and garnish with olive oil and chopped parsley. This plate can consume warm or room temperature, as an antipasto.

Bon Appetit!
