FARMERS MARKET STUFFED PEPPERS
It’s important to get the baby versions of these peppers if you can find them. Typically at a farmers market.
Yields: 5 servings
1/2 pound ground beef or lamb
1 tablespoon berbere
1 teaspoon salt free sazon
Salt, to taste
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup minced fresh tomato, optional
10 Baby Anaheims
10 Baby Cubanelles
Olive oil
In a bowl, combine your berbere, sazon, salt and breadcrumbs with your ground meat. Massage meat mixture until everything is well incorporated. Set aside.*
With a paring knife, make a long incision down the center of one side of your pepper. Careful not to slice the pepper in two. You’re just creating a pocket. Cut out the seeds, if you want.
Shove about one - two tablespoons of meat into the pocket. Some peppers might be bigger than others and require more filling.
Place in an airfyer for 15 mins at 400F
Remove from airfryer, place on a serving vessel and garnish with a little olive oil.
Serve.
NOTES
I added the fresh tomato to this recipe simply because I had it. It’s not necessary. You won’t miss out if you don’t include it. I just know people are gonna see it in the video and ask about it.
This would work with any pepper you can stuff. Would also work with Jimmy Nardellos.
Sometimes the pepper skin can be touch and bitter. I eat it anyway. You can remove it when you’re about to eat, but it’ll be very fragile.
Was in W Foods to return an Amz item. The only similar shaped peppers were hatch, and I’m a wimp. Bell peppers it is!
I really do love stuffed peppers - my mom made them often growing up, with rice added to the ground meat- sometimes tomatoes or eggplants if she was feeling fancy - but mostly the lowly green bell pepper. lol. I never think about the other yummy peppers out the like jimmy nardellos (yum), hatch chiles(double yum), etc to use instead unless they present themselves in my CSA box. Note to self - pay attention to all the peppers
