Pickled Stuffed Cherry Peppers Food

CHERRY PEPPER POPPERS

Steps:

• Slice the tops off of the cherry peppers and carefully remove the seeds, keeping peppers whole. Wrap a cube of cheese with prosciutto, and stuff into a pepper. If there is still room inside the pepper, stuff in more prosciutto. Repeat with remaining peppers.
• Place all of the stuffed peppers into a 1 quart jar - or one that your peppers will all fit into, and sprinkle salt over them. Pour in enough olive oil to cover the peppers. Cover, and let stand for 1 hour before eating. Refrigerate leftovers.

PICKLED STUFFED CHERRY HOT PEPPERS

Steps:

• 1. Combine the oil, garlic, vinegars, oregano and salt in a small sauce pan. Bring to just a simmer and simmer for 2 minutes and turn off the heat. This will help the flavors marry. Set aside to cool.
• 2. In the meantime take a small knife, cut the top off as you would a pumpkin. Remove the seeds by either using your knife or a small measuring spoon.
• 3. Now cut a cube of provolone and a piece of the prosciutto to the size of your hot cherry pepper. This will most likely change for each pepper depending on their size and shape.
• 4. Wrap the prosciutto around your cubed cheese and place inside the cherry pepper. Continue with all the remaining peppers.
• 5. Place your stuffed peppers in a container which has a secrued lid. Pour the cooled vinegar and oil mixture over your peppers. If you do not have enough liquid you can always add additional olive oil. My peppers were a little small so I didn't have to add any liquid.
• 6. Put the lid on and gently tip your container upside down af few times. Place in the frig for at least 24 hours the longer the better as the flavors will improve!

• Pour olive oil into a jar or lidded container. Stir in Parmesan cheese, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, black pepper, and red pepper. Whisk together well.
• Add peppers to the oil mixture and seal the lid. Let marinate for 5 to 6 hours. Serve straight out of the jar.
