Herb and ricotta baked chillies are a delightful appetizer that combines the heat of red hot chili peppers with the creamy goodness of ricotta cheese. This dish is enhanced with aromatic fresh parsley and a touch of shallot, creating a perfect balance of spice and flavor. Simple to prepare, these stuffed chillies are sure to impress your guests and provide a flavorful start to any meal.
- Choose fresh, firm chili peppers to ensure they hold their shape during baking.
- For a milder version, you can use bell peppers instead of hot chili peppers.
- To make stuffing the chillies easier, use a spoon or small spatula to evenly distribute the ricotta mixture.
- Pre-cook the shallot by sautéing it in a bit of olive oil until translucent to bring out a sweeter flavor.
- Season the ricotta mixture well with salt and pepper to enhance the overall flavor of the dish.
- Ensure the chillies are well-coated with cooking spray oil to prevent them from sticking to the baking sheet.
- Garnish with extra fresh parsley or a drizzle of balsamic vinegar reduction for added flavor and presentation.
Once baked and slightly charred, the herb and ricotta baked chillies offer a harmonious blend of spicy and creamy textures, with the parsley adding an herbaceous note to the dish. Whether enjoyed as an appetizer or a tasty snack, these stuffed chillies are a memorable and satisfying treat.
