PEPERONCINI STUFFED WITH SMOKED SALMON

Originally from a 1990 Gourmet Magazine.... the original recipe called for dill, I omit it and it still tastes great. A good low carb appetizer. Instead of a pastry bag I have used a ziploc with a hole cut in the corner to stuff the peppers with the cream cheese mixture.
