1 c/130 diced shallots

1 tbs/15ml olive oil

2 tbs/3g fresh oregano chopped

2 tsp/ lemon zest

1 c/260g ricotta

¼ tsp salt

1/8 tsp ground pepper

¾ lb/375g snacking/mini peppers

Directions:

1. Heat broiler. Line 8-9” cake pan with foil.

2. Wash and dry peppers. Slice tops off and shake out seeds. Use a paring knife if necessary to cut the heaviest portion of the ribs out.
