To start, gather all your ingredients:
- 2 cups of nonfat sour cream
- 10 cloves of garlic
- 1/2 cup of fresh tarragon
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 green onion
- 3 large yellow bell peppers
- 3/4 cup of pine nuts
Now, let’s dive into the culinary adventure:
-
Begin by preparing the yogurt mixture. Spoon the nonfat sour cream into a strainer or colander lined with cheesecloth, ensuring that the cheesecloth fully covers the yogurt. Place the strainer over a bowl deep enough to catch any liquid that drains out. Refrigerate the setup overnight to allow the excess liquid to drain, resulting in a thicker yogurt consistency.
-
Once the yogurt has been adequately drained, it’s time to create the spinach yogurt mixture. In a blender or food processor, combine the drained yogurt with half of the fresh spinach. Blend until smooth and well incorporated.
-
Next, add the remaining ingredients to the blender: minced garlic, chopped tarragon, salt, and sliced green onion. Continue blending until all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed, creating a creamy and flavorful spinach yogurt mixture. If you prefer, you can prepare this mixture in advance and refrigerate it for 1 to 2 hours before assembling the bites.
-
Now, it’s time to assemble the bites! Prepare the yellow bell peppers by cutting them into eighths lengthwise, then halving them crosswise to create bite-sized pieces.
-
Take each pepper piece and spoon a dollop of the spinach yogurt mixture on top, spreading it evenly to cover the surface.
-
Once all the pepper pieces are adorned with the creamy spinach mixture, arrange them beautifully on a serving platter, creating an inviting display of colors and textures.
-
To add the final touch of crunch and nuttiness, sprinkle toasted pine nuts over each bite, enhancing the flavor profile and adding a delightful contrast of textures.
-
Serve your Yellow Pepper & Spinach Bites immediately and watch as your guests marvel at the delicious combination of flavors and the stunning presentation. These bites are sure to be a hit at any gathering, whether it’s a casual get-together with friends or a formal dinner party.
