Feta Stuffed Tinkerbell Peppers

Hey friends!

How are you? That seems like a pretty relevant question given the crazy times we are in right now. We went through this crazy year of Covid19, from one quarantine to a lockdown, along with the recent holidays, we jumped straight to all this challenging war situation in Israel and the world.

I’d say too much seems to be happening… Sometimes it takes a moment and to switch everything off. Log Out. Breathe air. Maybe open a good bottle of wine? Accompanied with an assorted quality vegan cheese plate? Sounds like exactly what I need to relieve stress.

If you are going to have people coming over soon, for an evening of cheese and wine, here is an appetizer that will suit this celebration perfectly. Mini ‘Tinkerbell’ peppers. Pleasantly sweet and delicious. These peppers are going to go through a very quick 5-minute gentle simmering and stay in the hot oil until completely cooled. This will be done twice. 

After the peppers are cut and clean, place them in a small saucepan covered with oil, and cook until you see the first bubbles. As soon as those bubbles emerge, turn off the heat and let them cool down completely before repeating this action.

Feel free to use my Vegan Feta Cashew Cheese Recipe from the blog or any vegan cheese you like. Store-bought or homemade. Once you have finished filling these cute peppers with cheese, using a small spoon, of course, place them in a container with a lid. Cover them with the seasoned oil you used for quick cooking, all the way up.

They can be stored for up to 3 weeks in the refrigerator, as the oil prevents them from spoiling quickly.

Stay safe, wherever you are, and enjoy! I sincerely wish for a quiet and fun summer for everyone.
