Stuffed Bulls Horn Peppers Recipes

STUFFED BULL'S HORN PEPPERS

Steps:

• Wash the peppers. Cut off the stems and remove the seeds from inside. Do not break or tear the pepper.
• Puncture each pepper with a fork in 3-4 places. Stuff each pepper with the cheese. Avoid having any cheese sticking out of the top of your peppers.
• Broil them over the BBQ, electric grill until tender. Avoid burning the skin.
• When they are tender and the cheese is hot, place them in a deep dish and pour olive oil and balsamic vinigar over each one. Pour enough oil so that you can dip your bread into it.
• Sprinkle the garlic (optional) and sprinkle with salt. Cover and let stand for a couple of hours, swirling them around gently once in a while.
• Serve at room temperature. Can be stored in fridge for 3-4 days.

CHEESY SHRIMP-STUFFED CORNO DI TORO PEPPERS

Steps:

• Place poblanos or cubanelles under a broiler on high, in the oven, or on a very hot grill. (NOTE: Roast or grill 3 large red bell peppers while you roast the poblanos if you are using the Roasted Red Pepper sauce I recommend.) Broil or grill the peppers, rotating until the outer skin is charred all around, but the peppers are still slightly undercooked.
• Place charred peppers in a brown paper bag, closing the end to retain the steam, and allow to cool fro at least 5 minutes to a temperature that you can handle comfortably. Peel away and discard the skin that has charred on the outer surface.
• Using a sharp knife and being careful not to cut all the way through the stem and bottom ends of the pepper, make a vertical slit along one side. Carefully remove the seed strings and core through this slit.
• Chop the garlic, jalapeno, red bell pepper, and shallot; let them stand undisturbed on the cutting board or in a medium sized mixing bowl for about 5 minutes.
• Mince the cilantro and basil and add to the mixing bowl. Shred the mozzarella cheese, adding it and the Boursin to the mixing bowl. Stir well. Add rice, chopped spicy shrimp, shredded cheese, and herbs. Stir to mix well.
• Spray or rub a shallow baking dish with olive oil. Place a prepared pepper on the cutting board with cut side up; spoon stuffing inside, roll to close opening, and place in the baking dish. Continue until all the poblanos are stuffed. If there is extra stuffing it may be mixed with black beans and fresh tomatoes for a lunch salad.
• Bake in a preheated 350 F for 15-20 minutes.
• To serve as main dish: Place 2 peppers on each plate; drizzle with roasted red pepper sauce.
• To serve as appetizers: Arrange all the peppers on a serving dish. Either drizzle red pepper sauce over them on the serving plate, or provide a small dish of red pepper sauce and small ladle for self service.
