Red Florina Peppers with feta Cheese

Stuffed Red Florina Peppers

This is one of my favourite appetizers. Roasted red Florina peppers*, stuffed with feta cheese. Drizzle with a little olive oil and grill for a few minutes. You can use peppers ready from a jar or roast fresh ones, if you have the time. Enjoy with freshly baked bread and don't be afraid to dip in the oil.

* Florina red peppers = Grilled or roasted, the famed red peppers of Florina, in Northern Greece, impart a wonderful, sweet fragrance, one of the telltale signs of the rustic cooking of Macedonia. Their robust flavor, ruby-red color, and glossy sheen make them one of the most renowned local products. Whole and grilled, the Piperia Florinis is preserved in Greece's excellent extra-virgin olive oil, flavored with whole peppercorns, bay leaf, basil, and other fresh and dried herbs.
