Roasted red peppers with cheese brings together softened, roasted red peppers and cheese in a simple vegetable dish. It fits naturally among Mediterranean-style combinations of sweet peppers and savoury cheese, and is easy to make at home with the cheese available to you.
The peppers become tender and gently smoky, while the cheese adds a salty, creamy contrast. In Turkey, it can be served as part of breakfast, set out as a meze, or offered as a side with grilled food; elsewhere, it also works well on a sharing plate or alongside bread. The peppers contribute vegetables and fibre, while the cheese adds protein and calcium. For a lighter version, roast the peppers with little added oil and use a modest amount of cheese.
