Stuffed to capacity with soft goat cheese, tender couscous, and flavorful sun-dried tomatoes, these stuffed poblano peppers are a cinch to put on the dinner table and PACKED with flavor!
Hello, don’t mind me. Just over here stuffing my poblano peppers with ALL the summer things.
And goat cheese. Holy heck I love goat cheese, so yes it belongs in stuffed poblano peppers. End of story.
And while we’re talking about things to obsess over…..why not throw some couscous, sun-dried tomatoes, and spinach into the party?
PSA: if slightly spicy peppers aren’t your thing DO NOT let that deter you away from this recipe! You can easily swap out sweet peppers for the poblanos. Equally amazing, equally stuff-in-yer-face worthy.
Let’s get this stuffin’ business underway! Prep your peppers by coring out the seeds and such and then it’s time for the all-time important couscous stuffing.
Saute a few garlic cloves + diced onion around until fragrant and then throw a few handfuls of fresh spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and cooked couscous into the pan and let all the flavors meld together.
Pile it all in those GORGEOUS peppers and dot some goat cheese on top. And by dot, I mean heavily cover. It’s the right way to do cheese as we all know.
They roast up SO beautifully. They’re just a little bit spicy and that filling is LOADED with all the summer flavors. They’re also amazing cold OR hot!
Also amazing with even more goat cheese on top. Surprising?
