A quintessential antipasto. Kick it up a notch from a basic appetizer to a showstopper by seasoning the olive oil.
Ingredients
- 10 cherry peppers
- 1 (7 ounce) package mozzarella cheese
- 5 slices prosciutto
- 2 cups olive oil
- 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Directions
Step 1
Core out peppers by cutting a circle, at an inward angle, around the stem. Remove tops and scoop seeds and membranes out, like a tiny pumpkin.
Step 2
Cut thumbnail-size cubes of mozzarella, varying size a little bit to fit each pepper. Cut prosciutto slices in half. Wrap each half around mozzarella cubes and stuff into the open peppers.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Add peppers to the oil mixture and seal the lid. Let marinate for 5 to 6 hours. Serve straight out of the jar.
Cook’s Note:
If using jarred peppers, rinse thoroughly under water and then let soak in warm water for 30 minutes before coring.
