AppetizerSide Dish
Mediterranean

Feta stuffed peppers have a rich history dating back to ancient Greece, where feta cheese was a staple ingredient. This Mediterranean dish has been perfected over centuries, with each region adding its own unique twist. The tangy and creamy feta cheese is mixed with herbs and spices, then stuffed into sweet bell peppers and roasted to perfection. Renowned chefs like Yotam Ottolenghi have popularized this dish, infusing it with modern flair. Today, the best version of this dish can be found in the coastal regions of Greece, where the freshest feta and peppers are used. The key to nailing this dish lies in the quality of feta and the balance of flavors. For a unique twist, some chefs also add pine nuts or raisins to the stuffing for an extra burst of flavor.
