Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 60 ml
  • 2 bell peppers
  • 1/2 baguette 6 oz / 150 grams
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley 15 grams
  • 2 cups shredded Manchego cheese 240 grams
  • 1/2 tsp hot smoked Spanish paprika 1.15 grams
  • pinch sea salt
  • dash black pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat a large fry pan with a medium heat and add in 3 tbsp (45 ml) extra virgin olive oil

  2. Meanwhile, cut 12 slices from the baguette, each one being 1 inch (2.50 cm) thick, cut a slit on the cloves of garlic, making sure to leave the skins intact

  3. Add the cloves of garlic into the pan with the hot olive oil, mix continuously, after 3 to 4 minutes and they´re lightly sauteed, remove from the pan, then add in the slices of baguette, all in a single layer, cook for 2 minutes per side or until golden fried all around, then remove from the pan and set aside

  4. Cut the bell peppers in half through the stem, then remove any of the seeds and white piths, add the bell peppers cut side up into a baking tray lined with foil paper

  5. Once the garlic and fried bread are cool enough to handle, add into a food processor (skins removed on the garlic), along with 1 tbsp (15 ml) extra virgin olive oil, the parsley and season generously with sea salt and just a dash of black pepper, run the food processor for 2 to 3 minutes or until you end up with a crumbly texture

  6. Stuff the bread mixture into each bell pepper and then top off with the shredded cheese

  7. Add into a preheated oven, bake + broil option (bottom + top heat), 210 C - 410 F, bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and lightly browned

  8. Top off each stuffed pepper with a kiss of hot smoked Spanish paprika and some chopped parsley, serve at once, enjoy!
