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.

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together. 
🌿
Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
