How to Make Marinated Stuffed Cherry Peppers

  1. Wash and dry 1 pound of cherry peppers. Carefully slice them in half lengthwise and remove the seeds.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese, 1/4 cup chopped Kalamata olives, 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon capers, 1 clove minced garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes.
  3. Gently stuff each cherry pepper half with the feta mixture.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Arrange the stuffed peppers in a single layer in a shallow dish.
  6. Pour the marinade over the peppers, ensuring they are all coated.
  7. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
  8. Serve chilled as an appetizer or side dish.
