Stuffed Red Pepper Pockets with Feta and Dill
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the Peppers:
Using a sharp knife, carefully slit each red bell pepper lengthwise along one side, to create a pocket. Keep the tops (stems) intact and avoid cutting through the opposite side or the bottom.
Remove the seeds and membranes inside to form a cavity for the filling. Place the peppers on the baking sheet, with the slit side facing up.
Make the Filling:
In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, crumbled feta, chopped dill, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.
Stuff the Peppers:
Gently open the slit in each pepper and spoon the feta-yogurt mixture into the pocket, filling it evenly. Drizzle the tops with olive oil.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the peppers are slightly softened and the filling is warmed through.
Serve:
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
Serve warm, garnished with extra fresh dill if desired, and enjoy your beautifully stuffed pepper pockets!
