Serve with crusty bread.

Ingredients

  • 6 banana peppers
  • 1 cup finely diced mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup diced sweet onion
  • 2 tbsp finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp minced parsley
  • 4 tsp drained rinsed capers
  • Pinch pepper
  • 2 slices bread, crusts removed
  • Pinch salt
  • Extra-virgin olive oil

Preparation

Cut tops off banana peppers as close to stems as possible. With paring knife, remove cores; with small spoon, scoop out seeds and membranes. Rinse insides to remove any remaining seeds; shake out water.

In small bowl, mix together mozzarella, onion, Parmesan, parsley, capers and pepper; spoon into each pepper, pushing into peppers until 1 inch (2.5 cm) below top. Tear bread and stuff into space to seal.

Place on greased grill over medium-high heat; close lid and grill, turning often, until tender, lightly charred and cheese is melted, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to serving dish; sprinkle with salt. Drizzle with oil as desired.
