What is Three cheese stuffed red pepper?

Three cheese stuffed red pepper is a Turkish-style meze made by filling sweet, fleshy red peppers with a mixture of three cheeses. The peppers are often softened or roasted before being filled, giving their mild sweetness and slight smokiness a contrast with the creamy, savoury filling.

Serve it as part of a meze spread, alongside a salad, or as a small starter; it also works well with grilled vegetables and bread. It provides protein and calcium, while much of its energy comes from fat. For a lighter meal, pair a modest portion with fresh vegetables rather than richer sides.
