6 Stuffed pe
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 6 | mediums | Square shaped peppers |
| Boiling water | ||
| ½ | cup | Melted butter |
| 1 | teaspoon | Yellow asafoetida powder (can leave out, if you like, but I think it's better with) |
| 1 | teaspoon | Dried dill (or try dill seeds) |
| 1 | teaspoon | Paprika, sweet |
| 1½ | teaspoon | Salt |
| 1 | teaspoon | Dried basil (optional) |
| 3 | tablespoons | Minced fresh coriander (or try about 1 tsp ground coriander) |
| 3 | cups | Hot mashed potatoes |
| 1 | cup | Grated cheddar cheese |
Directions
1. Carefully slice a lid off each pepper and with a small serrated knife cut away the center piece of each lid, leaving only edible flesh. Put the lids aside. Scoop out all the membranes and seeds and wash the peppers thoroughly. Plunge them into boiling water for 2 to 3 minutes, remove, and drain upside down.
2. Pour 4 Tbs. of the melted butter into a saucepan and over low heat; saute the asafoetida for a few moments. Add the dill, paprika, salt, basil, and coriander. Stir and remove from the heat.
3. Place the mashed potatoes, three-quarters of the grated cheese, and the herbed butter in a bowl and mix until smooth.
4. Stuff all the peppers with the herbed potato and sprinkle the reserved cheese on top. Replace the cored lids. Place in a baking dish, brush with reserved butter and bake in a preheated oven at 355 F for 30 to 40 minutes or until the peppers are tender and lightly browned.
