Place the curd filling into a bowl and mix well with the tomato and herbs. To smooth out the sour taste of the filling, add a little honey. Use salt and hot pepper to taste.


Now prepare the bell peppers. To do this, rinse it and cut off the cap and stem. This time I have green peppers, but you can use peppers of different shades.


Take a teaspoon of the curd filling and stuff the peppers tightly. The appetizer is ready, but the filling inside needs to harden inside the pepper. To do this, wrap the stuffed peppers with cottage cheese in a bag and put them in the refrigerator for an hour or in the freezer for 20 minutes.

• Butter – 20 g (can be replaced with low-fat sour cream).

Cooking method:

To serve the appetizer, you can prepare peppers in several ways: cut off the “lid” along with the stalk; cut lengthwise along with the stalk; cut into quarters. In all cases, the fruits should be thoroughly cleaned of seeds and pulp and rinsed well with water.

If you decide to use the first method, you need to stuff the “cups” very tightly with the filling, then put them in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes. After cooling the appetizer, carefully cut into rings with a sharp knife and serve in portions.

In the second and third cases, filling halves or quarters, you can decorate them with green leaves, thinly sliced ​​olives or halves of cherry tomatoes.

To make the appetizer look more elegant, you can take peppers of different colors - red, yellow, green. You should choose fleshy fruits that are not very large in size. When choosing cottage cheese, pay attention to the fat content - the lower the percentage of fat content, the drier the filling will be; you may need to add a little sour cream so that the filling in the pepper does not fall apart. The butter must be taken out in advance so that it is warm by the time the filling is prepared, otherwise it will not “disperse.” You can replace butter with the same amount of olive oil.
