Ramiro peppers with cheese and hazelnuts
4 servings
30 minutes
"Peppers are an important product for Mexicans. We decided to add a little creaminess to them, for which we stuffed them with a mixture of cheeses and peanuts. And to give the peppers a smoky taste - in Mexico they are often cooked over a fire - we burn them with a blowtorch. At home, if you don’t have a blowtorch, you can easily burn the peppers in a dry frying pan without oil. We use cheddar, parmesan and mozzarella cheeses. The last two can be easily replaced with other cheeses with a similar texture, but it’s better to leave cheddar as is: both its meltability and its taste are important to the dish ." Recipe by Dmitry Kishov, chef of Tacobar restaurant.
