Pepperazzi™ Peppers Stuffed with Sausage

For your Shopping Cart:

We love stuffing our very own Pepperazzi™ with a variety of sausages. The spicy sweetness of the Pepperazzi™ and the savory sausage stuffing is a hard-to-resist appetizer. Here we feature a pork sausage with Romano and parsley, but also suggest trying chicken sausage with fresh spinach and mozzarella for a variation. You can easily prep these ahead of time and pop them into the oven when your guests arrive.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground DeLallo Italian Sausage
• 1/4 cup chopped Italian flat-leaf parsley
• 1/8 cup DeLallo Grated Romano
• 1 pound DeLallo Pepperazzi™ Peppers (about 40), drained
• 2 tablespoons DeLallo Extra Virgin Olive Oil 

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 450°F.

In a mixing bowl, combine the sausage meat with parsley and Romano cheese. Fill the Pepperazzi™ peppers with the meat mixture, pressing to compact. Arrange the Pepperazzi™, stuffing side up, on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Drizzle the generously with olive oil.

Bake for about 15 minutes, until the sausage meat is cooked through. Transfer the Pepperazzi™ to a platter and serve warm or at room temperature.

The unbaked stuffed Pepperazzi™ can be refrigerated overnight. Bring to room temperature before baking, or lengthen cook time.
