Peppers stuffed with squid and cheese are an original dish of Russian cuisine that combines the sea freshness of squid with the creamy texture of melted cheese. This idea may have originated in the search for an alternative to traditional meat fillings, adding an exotic touch to familiar dishes. Baked in a milk-onion sauce, the peppers absorb aromas, becoming especially soft and rich. This dish is perfect for a cozy family dinner or a festive table, impressing guests with its unusual flavor combination. It pairs wonderfully with white wine or fresh vegetables. The light sea taste of squid harmoniously complements the richness of cheese and the sweet notes of baked pepper, creating a rich palette of flavors.
