Grilled Gypsy Peppers Stuffed with Tomatoes

June 9, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 13 Comments

Hi Everyone,

I first have to give you an apology!!  Besides the love of peanut butter, I also have a love for the combination of tomatoes and basil.  I love the combination so much that I’m growing it in my garden.  Speaking of garden, did you know if you plant basil next to your tomatoes, the flavor of the tomato intensifies?  It does!!  See why there a match made in garden heaven and on the plate?

You will see this combination quite a bit on my recipe page with recipes such as my Caprese Quick Bread.

Caprese Quick Bread
Or my Tomato Basil Frittata
 Caprese Pasta
Caprese Sandiwch
Caprese Pesto Panini Sandwich
Margherita Pizza

See how much I love my tomato and basil!  I also have some other recipes with the combination, but these one’s really stand out.  I hope you like this combination, because I am going to be making this combo quite a bit this summer, oh and I already have a few made, I just need to post them.  To me it’s a classic and the flavors are just amazing together.  Wouldn’t you agree?  Well today I am bringing this wonderful combination stuffed in a Gypsy Pepper and then lightly grilled.  Yum!


A couple of weeks ago I got a huge bag of Gypsy Peppers from my CSA box and I honestly wasn’t sure what they were and what to do with them.  So what could I do?  Google them!  I swear I Google everything.  I found out that these are a thin-skinned sweet peppers that are grown in California.  My Husband was so afraid they were hot peppers.  I’ve made that mistake before, but I have never wasted a pepper!  I always find a use for them hot, sweet, mild, whatever the kind there always something you can make with them.

I did find out something on my own, they really are thinned skinned. Google would never lie to me, so why didn’t I listen?   A regular bell pepper has thick skin and is great for charring on the grill, but not these bad boys.  Normally when I stuff peppers and put them on the grill, I like to grill the pepper first to soften them up.  Peel the skin and then stuff them.  I did that with 4 of these and I ruined them.  They charred up quick and peeling the skin off was a pain in the butt!!  They didn’t turn out, so I used them for my sandwiches, still tasted good.  So I took my last remaining 4 and decided to stuff them first, than place on the grill.  I only cooked them for a few minutes, just until the Parmesan Cheese was slightly melted and the stuffing was warmed.  So my advice is to NOT char these kind of peppers first!  Big mistake on my part.
I cut the peppers in a T shape, but not cutting all the way through the pepper so it could hold my stuffing.  You have to be careful when you pull the seeds out.  I wanted to keep the stem of the pepper in tack for easy grabbing and besides I just think it looks prettier.  I left the seeds on the top part of the pepper near the stem, since I know I won’t be eating that part.
I decided to stuff these peppers with what else?  Tomatoes, basil, olive oil and Parmesan Cheese.  The flavors of the sweet pepper with the tomato mixture made a wonderful combination. My peppers were a just bit crunchy, but not bad at all, it didn’t taste raw.  My Husband actually really liked them.  Shocking, I know!  These make a fantastic side dish and would be great for a barbecue.  They only take minutes to prepare and cook.  Were growing Italian Sweet Peppers in the garden, which are very similar to these. There just starting to get flowers on them now. I can’t wait!  Now only if my jalapeno plant would start to grow.

So with all of these little dishes, I hope you like the combination of tomatoes and basil.  Like I said before I have a ton of recipes floating around in my head on what I can make with this fabulous Italian combination.  So stay tuned.
Last night I made sponge candy for my Husband, first time ever making any kind of candy and tonight it’s time to dip them in chocolate, so it’s time for me to go.  Have a super wonderful weekend!!
Toodles,
Jennifer
P.S.  I checked and I burnt my candy!  🙁  But the texture was right on.  I am getting a new candy thermometer tomorrow.  It doesn’t read very well and it’s about as old as me.  I think it’s time for a new one.  My poor Hubby was so disappointed.  Maybe I’ll surprise him next week for Father’s Day?

    I love this recipe and you are so right – tomato and basil are a true match. I have both growing also although not next to one another. I am going to have to try that. Thanks and have a wonderful weekend.

    The stuffed peppers sound great, but I want some heat. I’ll try the recipe with Jalapenos.

    I wonder if these stuffed gypsy peppers can be baked instead of grilled? I don’t have a grill.

      I would put it in the oven at 350, for about 15 minutes, just check it at the 10 minute time, and go from there.

Hey, hey, hey happy Tuesday! The days are getting Hey, hey, hey happy Tuesday! The days are getting longer and Spring will be here before we know it. #sponsored I can’t wait! Spring is my favorite season!
🌸
I’m sharing with you my new Yuri 4 piece patio set that I got from RST Brands. I love the clean lines and it’s made with certified eucalyptus wood. Plus it is so comfortable to sit on.
🌸
The beautiful light blue cushions are covered in a durable olefin fabric that is weather resistant. Plus the cushions have zippers, so you can wash the cushion covers. That’s a big plus, considering Sampson loves to sit on furniture.
🌸
I can’t wait to decorate my Yuri 4 piece seating set with throws, pillows and of course plants. When the weather warms up, I’ll take you along with me when I decorate.
🌸
Are you looking forward to Spring?

Happy Monday! As usual the weekend flew by, but I’m happy that I got some things done. I’m really trying to do some purge and organize. Slowly moving at it, one day at a time.
💕
I’m sharing with you my Valentines Day tiered tray. If you notice, I finally got a new tiered tray.  Woohoo, the tiered tray is from @paperadpallet. I’m so happy to ditch my old white one. It was so crooked that I had to put a towel under to make it straight. I now finally have a straight tiered tray.
💕
I’ve been good and I still haven’t gone shopping, but after putting this tray together, I realize I don’t own any wooden hearts. I really would like some white and pink ones. I could do a diy, I don’t think that’s considered buying home decor?
💕
How was your weekend?

Hello Thursday! Hope your week is going well. So f Hello Thursday! Hope your week is going well. So far so good over here. I’ve been doing well not shopping. I had to have Target deliver groceries yesterday because I was afraid to go in that store. I have no control. 23 more days to go for my 30 day no buying home decor challenge.
🌿
I’m slowly working on refreshing my home after Christmas. I worked on this vignette in my living room. It’s really hard shopping my home. I grabbed stuff in just about every room to make this vignette.
🌿
I’m sticking with the whites and greens and added the blue vase to go with my pillow in the background. I added another faux fern, I didn’t realize how many I have floating around.
🌿
The pot the fern is in was a pot that my spider plant was in that I got from Trader Joe’s. I told you I really shopped around my home. But it’s kind of fun using things I already have.
🌿
Do you like shopping your own home?

Hello Wednesday! Half way through the first week b Hello Wednesday! Half way through the first week back, we can do it. I need to pump myself up. 😂 All in all it’s not to bad of a work week.
🌿
Last week I worked on changing my console table around. I wanted to keep it light and simple and of course add my greenery.
🌿
I just love adding pops of greenery, real or faux everywhere. Plants truly make me happy. The faux fern you see here is from Target. It’s part of the Studio McGee collection. I can’t get over how real it looks.
🌿
For ferns, I always have to get faux. I don’t have very good luck with real ones. It’s just to dry here. I have to water them everyday and if you miss a day, they die. So faux it will be.
🌿
What’s your favorite plant?

Hello and happy Tuesday! Not too much going on ove Hello and happy Tuesday! Not too much going on over here. Just trying to get back into the swing of things. I was so tired after work yesterday.
🌸
I’m slowly decorating my home for this season, though winter is hard for me. After Christmas, I love pastels and flowers. I think the winter season is a little more difficult to decorate because we don’t get snow. It’s hard to have flocked trees and sunshine.
🌸
I’m sharing with you my centerpiece on my dining room table. I just love it so much!  It’s kind of cozy and warm. Plus it has flowers! I’m still working on decorating the rest of the dining room. I hope to complete it by the weekend so I can share it with you.
🌸
How’s the weather where you live?

Monday again? Ugh! Back to work today. I have enjo Monday again? Ugh! Back to work today. I have enjoyed my two weeks off and boy it is going to be hard getting back in the swing of things. At least I can roll out of my bed and go straight to my computer.
💕
Notice something different in my bedroom? I have a new sign above my bed. It took two years and a lot of begging to get my husband to hang something above my bed. It did cost me a trip to Olive Garden. lol
💕
My new farmhouse sign is from @krumpetshomedecor. I love just it, and thought it was perfect for the bedroom. I find the words so beautiful. Swipe to see a close up.
💕
The sign is slightly white wash and the word “love” is raised lettering. Plus the sign is two sided. I’ll show you the other side in stories today.
💕
Today Krumpets Home Decor is launching there new Valentines decor and let me tell you it is gorgeous!! I saw some fun pieces for a tiered tray and more signs. So much to choose from.

Happy Sunday! Not to much going on here. I finally Happy Sunday! Not to much going on here. I finally packed up my Christmas and slowly redecorating my house for winter/spring.
🌿
For some reason, when Christmas is over I feel the need to start to decorate for Spring. I just love the light, bright feeling.
🌿
My first post of the New Year has to be flowers. I’m sharing this pretty bouquet that I bought from Trader Joe’s.
🌿
Trader Joe’s has tulips already, which means peonies will be soon to follow. I can’t wait for flower season to come full bloom.
🌿
Are you going to be decorating for Valentine’s Day?

Happy New Years Eve! I can’t believe it’s the Happy New Years Eve! I can’t believe it’s the last day of the year and what a year it’s been. Though I’ve had some wonderful blessings this year.
🥂
I’m sharing with you my top 9 photos of 2020. Thank you so much for all your wonderful comments, likes and saves. I’ve had so much fun on IG this year. I’ve made so many new friends, I’ve been inspired by you and I feel like I have grown so much just by being here with you.
🥂
You don’t even know how much I appreciate each and everyone of you. You are truly inspiring.  I am looking so forward to seeing what is in store in 2021.
🥂
If you followed my stories yesterday, I am doing a 30 day challenge starting on January 1st. The challenge is not being able to buy any home decor. So if you are joining me, shop today. It’s the last day to shop.
🥂
I plan on shopping my home, and being creative with what I have. When lockdown started, I saved so much money, not being able to leave my home. I was so proud of myself. Plus, I can save some money for spring and Easter decor.
🥂
Let me know if you are joining me? I need a support system. Target did me in this week, and I must stay away.  Once I get the shopping bug, I can’t stop.
🥂
I’m taking the next couple of days off from IG to get my house organized. I will be on stories to show my progress. Happy New Years! Cheers to a wonderful 2021.
