Best Stuffed Peppers with Peas, and Goat Cheese.

Stuffed peppers are a dish that cannot be missing in Italian cuisine, especially in the south.

How to make for dinner?

In Sicily Stuffed peppers ( peperoni ripieni) are a classic of the kitchen, the Sicilians have inherited this dish as in most recipes from the Arab culture.

The filling can be made up of always different ingredients, but for these stuffed peppers they are a bit distant from the Sicilian ones in particular, with breadcrumbs, pine nuts, and raisins, which is the filling of many Sicilian recipes such as eggplant rolls or the mythical, Sardinian delicacies “a beccafico”.

This time I wanted to detach myself from this tradition that runs in my veins, and I tried to make a filling, yes always with a little bit of breadcrumbs because those cannot be missing, but the main ingredients are peas and Portobello mushrooms sprinkled with a very tasty goat cream cheese.
