Steps:

• On a medium-hot grill, roast the peppers or chiles, turning occasionally, until completely charred (about 10 minutes).
• Place charred peppers in a paper or plastic bag to steam for a further 10 minutes to loosen the skins.
• Peel peppers, then cut a slit down the length of each and remove the seeds & membranes.
• Stuff each pepper with the cheese.
• Secure with toothpicks to hold the peppers closed.
• Using heavy foil, wrap the peppers so that a packet is formed that will hold in any juices.

SARASOTA'S CHORIZO AND BLACK BEAN STUFFED CUBANELLE PEPPERS

Steps:

• Sausage -- Remove the sausage from the casing by cutting in the middle and then just squeeze out the sausage. Simply saute in a small skillet on medium heat until golden brown. It will take about 5-8 minutes. Remove the sausage to a small plate lined with a paper towel to drain.
• Vegetables -- In the same pan with a little of the drippings from the chorizo (just a teaspoon is all you need), saute the garlic, onion, jalapeno, and celery until tender, then add in the black beans and tomato and cook another minute or two. Transfer the mixture to a medium size bowl.
• Filling -- To the bowl with the vegetables, add in the chorizo, cheeses (both parm and mozzarella), egg, cilantro, dried oregano, salt and pepper.
• Soak the 2 bread slices in milk for just 10 seconds and then squeeze out the liquid. Just pull apart and break up the fresh bread to add to your filling. Mix everything together.
• Peppers -- Stuff the pepper halves with the filling and top with the parmesan and mozzarella.
• Bake -- I prefer to grill (they take about 20 minutes on a medium heat), or bake on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, foil, or just sprayed with non-stick spray at 375 degrees until the peppers get soft (about 30 minutes).
• Serve -- As I said, serve as a main dish with some rice and a tossed salad or as a side to some grilled chicken and fresh fruit. They are just great! ENJOY.
