Peperoncini Stuffed With Smoked Salmon image

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.

Yield 35 peppers, 14 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

35 -40 three to four 9-ounce jars pepperoncini peppers, drained (pickled Tuscan peppers)
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
3 tablespoons minced shallots
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Trim the stem ends off the peperoncini at an angle and, wearing rubber gloves, discard the seeds and ribs.
  • Let the peperoncini drain on paper towels.
  • In a bowl cream the cream cheese with the butter until the mixture is smooth, add the shallot, and the lemon juice, and combine the mixture well.
  • Stir in the salmon and salt and pepper to taste, transfer the mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch decorative or plain tip, and pipe the smoked salmon and dill cream into the peperoncini.
  • The peperoncini may be prepared 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled.
