Plump and sweet, these bright red peppers native to Peru are the perfect addition to any antipasti or tapas menu. Perfect for stuffing, I like to transform these sweet peppers into a savory small bite with the addition of a prosciutto-wrapped cube of creamy fontina cheese. Garnish the stuffed peppers with fresh herbs for a lovely color contrast and a hint of freshness that it deserves.
