Goats Cheese Stuffed Cherry Bomb Chillies

My greenhouse is full of plants loaded with an amazingly colourful array of chilli fruits right now……. red, yellow, green and purple……. small, large, round, long or pepper-shaped……… blindingly hot to very mild……  Many of them will end up dried and will be added to various dishes over the coming months. But some (like these bright, shiny Cherry Bombs) are perfect for stuffing and eating fresh.

I love cheese-stuffed chillies and often buy them from the deli counters at farm shops and supermarkets. But this year, since I now seem to have them coming out of my ears, I figured it was time to prepare some myself.

They are dead easy to ‘make’. You simply de-seed them and soak in a mix of oil and vinegar overnight before softening them briefly in the oven and stuffing with your favourite creamy cheeses, herbs or anything else you fancy. If you don’t want to eat them all at once, then you can store them (after deseeding and before softening) for a week or so in the oil and vinegar or keep them in the fridge unstuffed for about the same amount of time after they have been in the oven.

To be honest, whilst I love a bit of chilli, I am not keen on the palate-stripping heat that you get from large amounts being thrown into hot curries. Somehow all subtlety of flavour can easily get lost and eating with friends just becomes a competitive exploit to see who can survive the meal intact.

These Cherry Bomb chillies are naturally fairly mild, especially once they have been deseeded. The goats cheese-mascarpone filling that I have used brings in a wonderful cooling, creamy contrast against the background chilli kick. Throw in some fresh chopped basil for an extra sweet herby shot…. Simple!

They are such a wonderful, vibrant colour too. Eat as tapas……… use to brighten up any salad…….. or in my case, keep visiting the fridge, pop one in the mouth and bite through the contrasting slightly crisp chilli-pepper shell into the melty, soft, calming cheese, allowing the flavours and textures to mingle…..

Goats Cheese Stuffed Cherry Bomb Chillies

Ingredients

12 to 15 cherry bomb chilli peppers (or an alternative of choice)
120 ml/½ cup olive oil
60 ml/¼ cup white wine vinegar
125g soft goats cheese
80g Mascarpone cheese
handful fresh basil leaves – finely chopped

Method

  1. Prepare the chillies by carefully slicing off the very top (stalk end) and scraping out the seeds and ‘veins’.
  2. Place in a jar or bowl with the olive oil and vinegar and leave at least over night or for a couple of days to soak in the fridge.
  3. Pre-heat the oven to 180 C/350 F/Gas 4.
  4. Remove the chillies from the oil when ready and drain the excess oil-vinegar. (Save the oil vinegar to use for another batch).
  5. Place the drained chillies on a baking tray and bake in the oven for 10 minutes to soften only (do not let them brown). Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
  6. Meanwhile, mix the goats cheese with the Mascarpone and chopped basil until smooth and completely combined.
  7. Stuff the chillies with the cheese mixture and serve.
  8. You can store the chillies for about a week in the fridge covered in olive oil.

    I LOVE a bit of heat in my food and it's even better when paired with goat's cheese. Such a great recipe, I'll give it a go 🙂

    Oh your chillies look so cute. You are doing really well in growing your own and eating them.. wow! I have never grown chillies. My mum does and I take hers!
    I like the way you have stuffed them with cheese and mascarpone. I can certainly believe you, they must taste wonderful. Perfect for aperitives too. xx

    Those chilies are so cute, they make the perfect cups. I grew chilies once and agree that they can either be a bit bland or blow your head off hot! It's roulette which one you pick

      I know! They are like little red balls. They are pretty mild, so perfect for munching without the aid of gallons of water!

Who needs a perfect Carrot 🥕 Cake? Swipe to see Who needs a perfect Carrot 🥕 Cake? Swipe to see just how amazing it looks inside 😆. It’s super-moist gluten free deliciousness and would be brilliant for Mother’s Day or Easter. What do you reckon? Special enough for your Mum?
This recipe was literally developed originally for one of my followers who needed it for a special celebration. The feedback was super-good and I have to agree. It’s the best gluten free carrot cake I’ve ever had... and it’s certainly up there with the best of the gluten versions too. So if you love carrot cake... this one’s for you 😘.
You know me... If it’s not as good as I can possibly get, it doesn’t leave my kitchen xx
Grab the recipe from the blog 🥕💜🎁

Are Hot Cross Buns without fruit allowed? I think Are Hot Cross Buns without fruit allowed?
I think the answer may just be YES! Even when you’re gluten free 😆. And for all those who asked whether my Incredible Hot Cross Bun recipe could be made with Chocolate Chips instead of fruit? The evidence is undeniable. 
LOOK at these babies! Big... fat... glorious... chocolate chip Hot Cross Buns 😊😘😋👏😁
Yes or no???

Have you ever tried a Goose Egg? 🥚 They are tot Have you ever tried a Goose Egg? 🥚
They are totally yummy with monster yolks that are super-rich and creamy. Each egg is equivalent to 3 to 4 hens eggs. And they make the most incredible Goose Egg Scotch Eggs 😍
They have a really short season from about the end of February to June. And the geese have just started laying. 
We’re really lucky to get our eggs from a wonderful free-range supplier and they always let us know when goose eggs are available. You can use them for usual baking too... I totally recommend them for brownies.
I’ve put a recipe for making Goose Egg Scotch Eggs on the blog... If you see any eggs..: grab them while you can 😘

The ULTIMATE gluten free Hot Cross Buns... When wa The ULTIMATE gluten free Hot Cross Buns... When was the last time you had a perfect Hot Cross Bun? Easter all wrapped up in  a delicious fluffy, spiced, doughy ball, stuffed full of juicy fruit. Best buns ever! No one will ever know these babies are gluten free 😁
I am super proud of this recipe. I honestly didn’t think it was possible to create a gluten free bun with such an incredible texture... and I really didn’t think it was possible to create a Hot Cross Bun that would stay fresh enough to eat 48+ hours after baking... No toaster needed. 😊
But I’ve done it. I’ve pulled it out of the bag. Amazing 👏👏👏
Heads up... When I first started on developing this recipe, I truly wanted to make a simple one-bowl job. But that wasn’t possible. Texture and flavour were the absolute priority and this ultimately meant the recipe had to be carefully crafted  to make this happen. If you want the best, you sometimes have to work a little bit harder. 
But no word of a lie... these are SO worth the effort. 
Even better, I’ve worked out the dough can be frozen part way through the process... which means you can split the batch ready to bake up fresh with little effort later ☑️
Who wants the recipe? It’s now written up and on the blog... link in my profile (click lnk.bio)  #hotcrossbuns #easter #glutenfreehotcrossbuns #glutenfreerecipecreator #glutenfreeuk #glutenfreeeaster #glutenfreefoodporn #perfectbuns #singluten #glutenfrei #senzagluten #coeliacsafe #coeliacuk #feedfeed #feedfeedglutenfree #easterbuns #thebakefeed #huffposttaste #glutenfreealchemist #foodblogger #eeeeeats #bakersofinstagram #glutenfreebaking #foodblogfeed #bakersgonnabake #f52grams #instafood #glutenfreeeats #britainsbesthomecooks_ #worldsgreatesthomecooks

Have you ever tried porridge made with Millet Flak Have you ever tried porridge made with Millet Flakes? I really like it. It makes a nice change from oats and is a great alternative for anyone who can’t eat oats too.
It’s got a nice earthy bite and pairs perfectly with fruit and nuts. I always sprinkle a few cacao nibs on my porridge too. It’s funny how we have ‘must haves’ to go with some foods. 
Have you got a favourite porridge topping?  #porridge #glutenfreeporridge #milletporridge #porridgebowl #porridgewithfruits #cookedtoperfection #porridgewithoutoats #glutenfreeuk #breakfastideas #cookblogshare #coeliacsafe #coeliacuk #porridgeporn #forkyeah #tastemademedoit #eeeeats #instafood #foodporn #foodphotography #healthyfood #healthybowl #porridgepassion #foodblogger
