Ingredients
Scale
Dressing:
- ½ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 small shallot, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, grated
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Chili flakes, to taste
Peppers:
- 3–4 bell or poblano peppers
- 1 pound orzo pasta
- 6 ounces salami, chopped
- 3 ounces pepperoni, chopped
- ½ cup shaved Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup mixed pitted olives, chopped
- ½ cup sliced pepperoncini
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves
- 3 ounces prosciutto
- 3 balls burrata cheese, at room temperature
Instructions
- Step 1: To make the dressing, combine all ingredients in a glass jar and whisk until smooth. Season with salt, black pepper, and chili flakes.
- Step 2: Place the peppers over an open flame on a gas burner and lightly char them, turning occasionally for 3-4 minutes. Alternatively, broil the peppers for 2-3 minutes, watching closely. Avoid burning them; aim for a light char.
- Step 3: Transfer the charred peppers to a bowl and cover with a plate. Let them steam for 10 minutes, then slice the peppers in half and discard the seeds.
- Step 4: Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the orzo according to package directions until al dente. Drain well.
- Step 5: In a large bowl, toss the hot orzo with the prepared dressing and Parmesan cheese. Add the salami, pepperoni, olives, pepperoncini, and basil. Toss well to combine.
- Step 6: Crisp the prosciutto in a skillet over medium heat until it becomes crunchy.
- Step 7: Arrange the peppers on a serving plate and stuff each with the orzo mixture. Tear the burrata cheese over the stuffed peppers and top with crispy prosciutto. Serve and enjoy!
