Summer is just around the corner.
You know what that means. barbecue
It’s time to start grilling!
Vegetable kabobs are awesome, but if you want to try something different try these falafel filled sweety pepps!
What are sweety pepps?
Also known as cherry peppers, sweety pepps are tiny sweet round bright red peppers that are about the size and shape of a cherry tomato. They aren’t particularly spicy, but they do have a little bit of a kick to them. Typically, sweety pepps are served stuffed, usually with a cheese and herb mixture
I found mine in the deli section of my local grocery store, but they are also sold in jars.
The easiest way to fill them is to transfer the falafel mix to a zip lock bag.
Cut off one corner of the bag and gently squeeze the contents onto the peppers.
Place the skewers on the grill with the open side of the peppers facing up to prevent the mix from falling out.
