Number Of Ingredients 9

14 hot red cherry peppers, cored and seeded, tops reserved
4 ounces young pecorino or provolone cheese, cut into 1/4-inch cubes

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
1 garlic clove, minced

Steps:

  • Stuff each pepper with cheese and a sprig of marjoram. Transfer the stuffed peppers and pepper tops to a glass loaf pan.
  • Whisk the oil, vinegar, garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Pour over the peppers. Let marinate at room temperature 1 hour.
