Description

This elegant yet simple Mediterranean appetizer transforms humble roasted red peppers into a stunning presentation. The peppers are rinsed and dried to serve as edible cups, filled with a rich, earthy mixture of toasted walnuts. The combination offers a delightful contrast between the soft, sweet peppers and the crunchy, nutty filling. It is an ideal starter for dinner parties, potlucks, or as part of a meze platter. With minimal prep time and pantry-friendly ingredients, this dish brings authentic home-style flavor to your table. It pairs beautifully with crackers or crusty bread for dipping.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC).
  2. Spread the walnuts on a baking sheet and toast for 5 minutes until fragrant, then let cool slightly.
  3. Roughly chop the toasted walnuts into small pieces.
  4. Rinse the jarred roasted red peppers under cold water and pat them thoroughly dry with paper towels.
  5. Trim the stems off the peppers to create cup-like shapes.
  6. Spoon the chopped walnut mixture into the center of each pepper cup.
  7. Arrange the filled peppers on a serving platter and serve immediately.
