Roasted Cheesy Corn Stuffed Grilled Red Peppers
- 4 red peppers, tops and bottoms left on but cut in half seeds and ribs removed
- 2 cups roasted corn (3 ears roasted or 2 cups frozen)
- 2 shallots, minced fine
- 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 14 cup cilantro (if not a cilantro fan ... chopped flat leaf parsley)
- 1 lime, juice of
- 1 (8 ounce) package monterey jack pepper cheese, I like to cut in small cubes rather than shred for this dish
- 14 cup parmesan cheese
- kosher salt
- ground black pepper
- Corn -- roast the corn.
- I like to clean and remove the silks then rub with olive oil, salt and pepper.
- Grill or roast at 425F for about 15 minutes until lightly brown.
- Just turn often.
- If roasted corn is used -- cool and then with a knife remove the kernels.
- If not.
- You can use frozen corn for this.
- I have done both.
- Although I prefer the roasted, the frozen works just fine.
- In a large bowl add the corn, lime juice, garlic, cilantro, shallots, cheese and seasoning.
- If you don't like cilantro, use parsley.
- But cilantro really makes it.
- Just mix all well.
- Peppers -- Well I like to cut them in half remove the ribs and seeds.
- Then just just cut a small thin piece off the side so the pepper can sit upright with the cut half open without rolling over.
- I just take a tiny little 1/8" piece.
- That way I can stuff, and it won't roll over.
- Just a neat little trick.
- Or just add some cheap rice to the baking pan.
- Set the peppers on that and they will not roll over either.
- Both methods work.
- Add the filling to the peppers and top with just a sprinkle of the Parmesan cheese.
- Bake or grill--baked at 425F for about 40 minutes maybe longer depending on the size of the peppers or grilled for 30-40 minutes, just rotate often on the grill.
- They will be done when bubbly, melted cheese and the peppers are soft.
- What a great perfect side dish.
- It is so flavor filled and always gets great reviews and with a simple side of grilled potatoes and maybe some fresh grilled steak or fish -- It is tops!
