Roasted Ricotta Peppers

Number of servings: 1
Estimated Prep Time: 10 minutes
Estimated Cooking Time: 25 minutes

Allow two pepper halves per person. To make this recipe for more than one person, simply multiply all the ingredients except the red onion and lemon by the desired number. 1 red onion and the zest from 1 lemon should be enough for the filling for up to 4 or 5 peppers / 8 - 10 pepper halves.

You may wish to season the pepper stuffing with a dried or fresh spice such as basil or oregano. It probably won't need salt.

Optional: Add a few sliced or pitted back olives to the filling.
