Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Peperoncini peppers
- 100 grams Smoked salmon
- 150 grams Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Capers
Instructions
Carefully slice the tops off the peperoncini peppers and remove the seeds using a small spoon or knife. Rinse and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, smoked salmon (finely chopped), fresh dill (chopped), lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and evenly combined.
Fold the capers into the mixture for an extra burst of flavor.
Using a piping bag or small spoon, gently stuff each peperoncini with the smoked salmon mixture. Ensure each pepper is filled evenly but not overstuffed.
Arrange the stuffed peperoncini on a serving platter. Garnish with additional dill or a thin sliver of smoked salmon for presentation, if desired.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
