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.

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash.

I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals.

I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.
🌸
Do you have any summer vacation scheduled this year?

Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll be counting down to my next vacation, which will be the week of the 4th of July. I will tell you, it felt so nice not having any plans and doing work in the garden.
🌻
This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle. 
🌻
Do you you like to go to the Farmers Market?

Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I pretty much spent the whole week working in my garden, so I apologize for all the flower photos. 
🌸
This is a view of my fenced in garden. The flowers on the left are zinnias, and next to them is beardtongue and in the background, butterfly bush.  In about a month or so, this background will pop with lots of orange from my Mexican sunflower and yellow from the black eyed susan. I just hope my black eyed susan’s make it. They are struggling. 
🌸
I have to say I have been enjoying working in the garden. It’s therapy to me. It just makes me feel good to sit back and see all your hard work start to bloom. I can’t wait to see what the garden looks like a month.
🌸
What do you like to do that you consider your therapy?
