Grilled Giant Marconi Stuffed Peppers Recipes

GRILLED & STUFFED GIANT MARCONI PEPPERS

Steps:

• I had 3 peppers fresh from the garden so I Started by washing then Grilling all 3 until they were Hot to the touch. (Note: turn them over every 2-3 minutes so they don't burn too much on any given side). Grill on Low Heat.
• While the peppers are cooking, mix up the cheese mixture so it will be ready for the next step.
• After the peppers have been on the grill long enough they feel hot to the touch, take them off and take the tops off and cut a slit down the length of each pepper. Roll the cheese mixture together in your hands so that it lays loosly inside the peppers. Put the peppers back on the grill untill the cheese mixture starts melting.
• Please note that you should increase the amounts of the cheeses by 1/4 for any additional bell pepper.
• Now they are ready to eat, how you serve them or how much yield is up to you.

GRILLED STUFFED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Mix the seasoning blend, salt, and wine in a small bowl and stir well. Then combine the mixture with all the other ingredients except the oil and peppers in a mixing bowl and mash with your hands until all the ingredients are evenly distributed. Put the meat in the refrigerator for an hour or more to allow the flavors to blend.
• Heat a little oil in a frying pan and place a teaspoon of the meat mixture in the hot oil. Cook, turning frequently, until done on both sides. Taste, and adjust the salt and seasonings in the remaining meat mixture.
• Cut the peppers in half through the stem so that they form six half-pepper cups. Fill each half pepper with meat mixture. Mound the meat no more than a 1/2 inch over the top edge of each pepper. The stuffed peppers can be made in advance to this point and stored covered in the refrigerator for several days.
• Light the grill. Cook pepper side down over low heat for 10 to 12 minutes, until the pepper is charred and soft. Turn the stuffed peppers over and cook on the meat side for 10 minutes. Test for doneness. Serve immediately with your choice of salsas. These are also great cold or cut into slices for sandwiches.
• Variation: Leb-Mex Peppers
• Use kebab seasoning such as Sadaf, available in Middle Eastern grocery stores.
• Variation: Cajun Peppers
• Use a Cajun spice blend such as Tony Chachere's or Zatarain's and omit the salt.
