Stuffed peppadew - 3/5 platter ideas

3/5:
Peppadews, founded in South Africa, are amazing to use. They're sweet while giving a little bit of a bite... They look super pretty on a plate. This idea is thanks for my friend Anna-Marie... For my international readers, they might be known as Piquanté. I assume they're very similar to sweet pickled cherry peppers, which you should stem and seed before use.

Easy stuffed Peppadew

Peppadew peppers
Feta cheese, cut into cubes

Remove peppadew from the liquid and drain.
Stuff with a cube of feta cheese.




Peppadew Peppers stuffed with Feta, Garlic, and Chives (makes 16)
Peppadew peppers
50g block feta cheese, crumbled
60ml cottage cheese
2 garlic cloves, grated on a microplane
15ml chopped fresh chives, plus extra for garnish
pinch of salt
freshly ground black pepper
Extra-Virgin olive oil
Remove the peppers from the jar and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.  
In the bowl of a small food processor, process the feta, cottage cheese, and garlic until the mixture is smooth and creamy.  Scrape down the sides of the bowl and process again.  Remove the mixture to a small bowl.  Stir in the chives and season with salt and pepper.  Spoon the mixture into a pastry bag and evenly fill each pepper.  Transfer the filled peppers to a plate and garnish with chopped fresh chives and drizzle with olive oil.
