These Italian Orzo Stuffed Peppers with Burrata are the perfect dish to make this week. Roasted bell or poblano peppers are full of a well-dressed Italian orzo pasta salad full with all of the mix-ins: grated parmesan, herbs, spicy salami, pepperoni, olives, cherry tomatoes, and plenty of contemporary basil. The salad is combined with selfmade dressing and topped with contemporary burrata cheese and crispy prosciutto. It’s completely delicious!

I by no means ate stuffed peppers as a child. However I did eat loads of peppers in my dad’s salads and his selfmade pasta dishes. It wasn’t till my oldest brother began asking for stuffed peppers that I started experimenting with recipes.

Now, a few years later, I make stuffed peppers on a regular basis. My go-to recipe (which I’ve but to share) is Creighton’s private favourite. It’s way more meat-based. Perhaps I’ll share that stuffed pepper recipe this fall.

However because it’s summertime, I needed to share the peppers I usually make for my mother or when entertaining!

An Italian chopped salad is a staple in my kitchen. I share this recipe in my new cookbook, Fast and Cozy!

After I wish to combine this up a bit and switch my salad into dinner, I often add pasta and, as a rule, some protein.

Or I’ll make salad stuffed peppers! It’s a scrumptious technique to get pleasure from peppers, particularly in the summertime. My mother loves orzo, so I often combine some with my salad.

Step 1: make the dressing

This dressing accommodates so many scrumptious components, starting with olive oil and balsamic vinegar—you should utilize pink wine vinegar too, however I like balsamic. Despite the fact that balsamic is extra historically utilized in Greek cooking, I like how the vinegar works on this Italian-style dressing.

Then, lemon juice and a little bit of Dijon give the dressing a little bit of creaminess.

End with a drizzle of honey, a shallot, garlic, and dried oregano. Then, season to style with salt and pepper.

Step 2: roast the peppers

You need to use any shade bell pepper for this recipe or poblano peppers. Personally, I like pink peppers and poblanos most.

Begin by roasting the peppers over an open flame on a gasoline burner. Char the peppers simply evenly to provide them a pleasant taste. Then, switch the peppers to a bowl, cowl the bowl, and let the peppers steam when you make the orzo.

Step 3: prepare dinner the orzo

Boil off the orzo, then toss that scorching orzo with the dressing and grated Parmesan cheese. This smells great, so take all of it in!

Add the spicy salami, the pepperoni, cherry tomatoes, and basil. You can too add chopped greens and zucchini. Actually, no matter veggies you want!

Step 4: get the prosciutto crispy

I crisp the prosciutto in a skillet. It’s approach simpler than bacon and far much less messy because it’s in no way greasy.

Step 5: stuff the peppers

Now, stuff the orzo into every pepper. Break the burrata cheese over the peppers and end with prosciutto and additional herbs.

If I might finest describe this dish, I might say it’s like pasta salad stuffed into peppers…scrumptious!

The one factor I want I had added was some breadcrumbs, however I’m additionally simply obsessive about breadcrumbs proper now. They’re so yummy with every thing, so I might add a handful!

Additionally, let me know if I ought to share Creighton’s favourite peppers this fall!
