Recipe - Roasted Peppers Stuffed With Goat Cheese And Olives

6 Roasted red bell peppers;
skin removed
One fourth pound Fresh goat cheese
12 Pitted imported black
olives; cut or sliced up
4 Green onions; thinly cut or sliced up
One half tablespoon Finely chopped fresh
rosemary
1 One half cup Yellow cornmeal for dredging
One half cup Vegetable oil
12 SERVINGS LACTO

This dish was inspired by the flavors of the Mediterranean. You can either
roast the bell peppers yourself or buy whole roasted peppers in a jar, but
be sure to drain them well and pat them dry before stuffing.

Make one lengthwise slit down each roasted pepper and remove seeds. In
medium bowl, mash cheese to soften. Add olives, green onions and rosemary.
Divide into 6 portions and shape each portion into a cylinder. Place one
cheese cylinder into each pepper. Wrap the pepper around the cheese,
overlapping the edge.

Roll stuffed peppers in cornmeal to coat well. Transfer pepper to a baking
dish dusted with cornmeal. Cover and refrigerate until ready to bake.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly coat shallow roasting pan with oil.
Arrange peppers in pan and bake until heated through and cornmeal coating
is crisp, 5 to 10 minutes. Arrange stuffed peppers on serving platter and
cut each into 4 slices.
