INGREDIENTS

6 Red Bell Peppers ; cut lengthwise in half and seeded
2 or more Garlic cloves
1.5 lbs cherry tomatoes ; stemmed and halved
1 cup Basil fresh ; cut into thin strips
2 cups mozzarella cheese ; cubed
3 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
3 tbs Balsamic Vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste

Servings

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In a large bowl, whisk together oil, vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper.

Add tomatoes, mozzarella and basil and toss together. Make sure that the cherries and the mozzarella have time to absorb the flavors of the balsamic vinegar mixture.

Fill each pepper with the mix and place in a baking pan uncovered. Bake until tender, about 40 minutes.

NOTES

Buy large and square red bell peppers to make stuffing easier. Of course, you will want to choose fresh mozzarella cheese whenever possible. This recipe was given to me by a woman at church. Apparently, it originates from Sunset Magazine.
