Grilled Stuffed Giant Marconi Peppers Food

GRILLED STUFFED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Cut the bell pepper a half inch down from the top to remove the stem and the curved top side of the pepper. Using a large spoon, scoop out the seeds and the pith and discard.
• Cut off any extra bell pepper from the step portion, and dice. Set aside with the diced onion and garlic.
• Preheat a 12" cast iron skillet over medium heat. You can cook this on your stove or in your grill.
• Add 1 Tablespoon of olive oil to your skillet. Add the diced pepper and onions, and saute for 3-5 minutes until they start to turn translucent. Add in your ground beef, garlic, Signature Beef Seasoning (or salt and pepper), and the oregano. Cook, stirring frequently to break apart the meat for an additional 3-5 minutes.
• Add the tomato sauce and the rice to the skillet and stir to combine. Add a little more salt than you would need, as the peppers cook, the rice will absorb a lot of the liquid.
• Preheat your grill to Medium heat (350 degrees F) for 2-zone cooking.
• Fill the peppers with the rice and meat mixture, and top the filled bell peppers with the shredded cheese.
• Place the peppers on the grill grates on the indirect heat side of your grill, close the lid, and grill for 30-40 minutes or until the peppers are soft and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
• Remove them from the grill, garnish with minced parsley, and enjoy!

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.

CHEESE-STUFFED GRILLED PEPPERS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, blend the ricotta with the cream cheese and Parmigiano-Reggiano. Season with salt and pepper.
• Light a grill or heat a grill pan. Using a small, sharp knife, remove the stems from the peppers and reserve. Cut around inside the peppers to detach the membranes and remove the seeds. Using a butter knife, fill the peppers with the cheese mixture and reattach the tops. Rub the peppers with olive oil.
• Grill the peppers over moderately high heat, turning occasionally, until blistered all over and the cheese filling is piping hot, about 7 minutes. Transfer the peppers to plates and serve.
