Ingredients

    1/2 cup (125 mL) goat cheese, softened

    1/4 cup (60 mL) chopped sundried tomatoes, packed in oil (reserve some oil from jar)

    3 Tbsp (45 mL) thinly sliced chives (reserve some for garnish)

    1 cup (250 mL) cooked green lentils

    2 red bell peppers, each cut into 8 pieces, length-wise

    8 slices prosciutto, cut in half length-wise

    to taste, salt and pepper


Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 415˚F (210˚C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. Cream the goat cheese, sundried tomatoes, and chives together in a medium bowl. Stir in the cooked lentils and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Fill each sliced pepper boat with a rounded spoon of filling. Wrap each filled pepper with a piece of sliced prosciutto width-wise.
  4. Place onto the prepared baking tray and bake for 12-14 minutes or until prosciutto is lightly crispy, but pepper still has structure.
  5. Let cool for 5 minutes, drizzle with sundried tomato oil (optional) and serve. Alternatively, you can make ahead and serve cold.

Drizzle with balsamic reduction to take this dish to the next level.
