GOAT CHEESE-STUFFED PIQUILLO PEPPERS

Steps:

• Place the almonds in a small skillet over medium heat and cook, tossing, until golden brown and toasted, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let cool.
• If necessary, trim the open end of each pepper so that it measures 1 1/2- to 2-inches long. Stir the chives, mint and parsley together in a small bowl.
• Place the goat cheese in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until creamy. Add the olive oil and beat until incorporated. Add all but 1 tablespoon of the herbs and beat to combine. Season the cheese mixture with salt and pepper.
• Spoon the cheese mixture into a resealable plastic bag, snip off the tip of one corner and pipe the cheese into each pepper until about three-quarters full. Arrange the peppers on a platter and drizzle with more olive oil and some sherry vinegar. Sprinkle the peppers with the remaining herbs and the toasted almonds before serving.

ROASTED PEPPERS STUFFED WITH GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Roast peppers directly under broiler or over an open flame, turning frequently until blistered and blackened on all sides, 6 to 8 minutes. Place in a large bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and let sit for 15 minutes to steam. When cool enough to handle, use a paring knife to peel off skin. Slit each pepper down one side. Remove stem and seeds.
• Meanwhile, preheat oven to 475 degrees F and position a rack in the upper third of oven. In a small bowl, combine raisins and boiling water. Let sit for 5 minutes, then drain and set aside.
• Place peppers, peeled sides down, on a cutting board and press lightly to flatten. Sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper. Divide goat cheese into eighths and shape each into a log about 2 1/2 inches long. Place each log on top of a pepper. Sprinkle cheese with three-quarters of basil, then pine nuts and reserved raisins. Fold each pepper over (like a canoe on its side) to sandwich the cheese, basil, nuts, and raisins. Press down gently to flatten.
• Place peppers on a baking pan. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with cayenne, if desired. Bake peppers until breadcrumbs are golden, about 10 minutes. Garnish with remaining basil. Drizzle with about 2 tablespoons olive oil, if desired.

GOAT CHEESE-STUFFED TURKEY BURGERS WITH ROASTED RED PEPPER RELISH

Steps:

• For Burgers:
• Combine turkey, breadcrumbs, lemon juice, lemon peel, thyme, salt and pepper in large bowl. Mix well. Divide turkey mixture into 6 equal portions. Form 1 portion into two 4-inch diameter patties. Place 1 tablespoon goat cheese atop 1 turkey patty; place second patty atop cheese. Seal patties at edges to enclose cheese. Repeat with remaining 5 portions. (Can be prepared 4 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Grill burgers until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Grill hamburger buns, cut side down, until lightly toasted, about 1 minute. Place turkey burgers on bottom half of buns. Top burgers with Roasted Red Pepper Relish, then bun tops and serve.
• For Relish:
• Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add red peppers and sauté 2 minutes. Add onions and garlic. Cook until onions are tender, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes.
• Mix vinegar and sugar in small bowl until sugar dissolves. Stir vinegar mixture into red peppers. Mix in mustard and cayenne pepper. Season with salt. Continue cooking relish until all liquid has evaporated, stirring frequently, about 6 minutes. Cool to room temperature. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before using.) Makes about 2 cups.

ROASTED PEPPER & GOAT'S CHEESE STUFFED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Cut the tops off the tomatoes and discard. Scoop out the seeds and discard. Place the tomatoes on a lightly oiled, shallow baking dish.
• Brown all the pine nuts in a dry frying pan or under the grill until golden. Wilt the spinach in a hot pan for a min. Drain thoroughly in a sieve, squeezing out the excess liquid, then roughly chop.
• Combine the spinach, peppers, 25g/1oz toasted nuts and 125g/41⁄2oz crumbled cheese in a bowl, then season to taste. Divide the mixture between the tomato shells. Top each tomato with more crumbled goat's cheese and the rest of the pine nuts, then bake for 20 mins until the filling is hot and the tomato skins are beginning to wrinkle and split. Serve warm.
