Stuffed Sweet Little Peppers Recipes

These cute little sweet peppers are addicting. They are just beautiful and they might look hot but they are not. They are really sweet and crunchy. You can eat it raw or my favorite way of eating it is just lightly toss it with some olive oil, salt, and pepper and spread it evenly on a baking sheet and roast if for 30 - 40 minutes. For today I simply stuffed it, pan fried and then cook it in some bean sauce.

Ingredients:

8-10 sweet peppers
1 chicken breast – ground finely
5-6 shrimp - roughly chopped
1 tsp of cornstarch
½ tsp of sesame oil
1 spring onion – cut small
Salt and pepper to taste

1 tbsp of black bean paste
2 cloves of garlic - chopped
1 cup of water
1 tbsp of sugar

1. Wash peppers and cut a slit in the middle (for stuffing). Discard the seeds of the peppers, pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.
2. In a bowl, mix the chicken, shrimp, corn starch, spring onion, sesame oil, salt and pepper. Mix well.
3. Using butter knife stuff the meat mixture into the pepper. Heat up a pan with some oil. Pan-fried the peppers slowly until lightly brown, remove and set aside.
4. In the same frying pan, heat up some oil stir-fry the chopped garlic until light brown or fragrant. Add the bean paste and do a quick stir. Add water and sugar and bring it up to a boil. Add in the peppers and cook until sauce thickens
5. Remove from pan and serve warm with rice.
