Recipe
Preparation Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Ready Time: 35 mins
- place the peppers on a plate, and cook in the microwave for about 5 minutes, until just pliable. do not peel. set aside to cool.
- place the potatoes and onion into a large glass or ceramic dish, and add a few tablespoons of water. cover with a lid or plastic wrap, and cook in the microwave until the potatoes are beginning to soften and the onions are transparent, 8 to 10 minutes. uncover, and stir. set aside to cool slightly while you start the sauce.
- in a blender or food processor, combine the tomatoes and peanut butter. process until smooth, then pour into a saucepan. stir in the garlic, cumin and oregano. warm over low heat, and cover with a lid to avoid spattering. cook for about 15 minutes to blend the flavors together.
- preheat a grill for medium-high heat. mix the cheese into the potatoes and onions. slit the peppers down one side, and fill with the potato mixture. i like to leave the seeds in because the peppers have more flavor that way, but you can take them out if you like. brush the peppers with olive oil.
- grill peppers for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the outsides are slightly charred. cut in half to serve, and spoon the sauce over them.
