Hot Stuffed Cherry Peppers Recipe
Description:
🌶️ Some like it hot, some not so hot! These little red peppers, about 2 1/2″ x 1 1/2″ high, are just right for a medium level of heat. They look lovely on your plate and are perfect when served with broccoli, cauliflower, browned potatoes, and lamb chops. Additionally, they also come as green cherry tomatoes and make a great appetizer, approximately only an inch across and an inch high. The green ones I found were hotter than the red!
