How to cook peppers stuffed with cottage cheese, garlic and herbs

Place the cottage cheese, garlic and butter with the egg in a blender bowl. Now add one spoon of thick sour cream.


Grind the filling in a blender for several minutes until smooth. If you don't have a blender nearby, just use a fork to thoroughly mix the curd filling.


For bright splashes, use a tomato or pepper of a different color. Cut the tomato fillet without the seeds and chop into small cubes. Chop the dill as desired. With dill you can add green onions or other spicy herbs.

Place the curd filling into a bowl and mix well with the tomato and herbs. To smooth out the sour taste of the filling, add a little honey. Use salt and hot pepper to taste.


Now prepare the bell peppers. To do this, rinse it and cut off the cap and stem. This time I have green peppers, but you can use peppers of different shades.


Take a teaspoon of the curd filling and stuff the peppers tightly. The appetizer is ready, but the filling inside needs to harden inside the pepper. To do this, wrap the stuffed peppers with cottage cheese in a bag and put them in the refrigerator for an hour or in the freezer for 20 minutes.


Remove the stuffed peppers from the refrigerator before serving and cut into portions with a sharp knife.

Beautifully arrange the stuffed peppers with curd filling on a plate and immediately serve. I recommend eating this snack chilled.

Cooking steps:

1. To make the dish very beautiful, peppers should be taken in two colors, for example, red and yellow. When choosing peppers, pay attention to their shape: it is better not to buy very wide fruits, since after stuffing they will be inconvenient to cut. So, we wash our peppers, dry them and cut off the stem. At the same time, we remove all the seeds.

2. Then prepare the filling for the pepper. To do this, mix the curd cheese with finely chopped herbs, add spices and mix again. You need to taste the filling and add salt if necessary. To decorate, prepare a special paste: grind several olives in a blender with anchovies, spices and lemon juice, adding a little sunflower oil. Then we fill our peppers with cheese filling and put them in the refrigerator to cool for a couple of hours.

3. Take out the peppers stuffed with cheese and carefully cut them into circles. Place them on a plate with alternating colors and top with olive oil and anchovy paste. An amazing appetizer is ready to serve!
