These stuffed peppers are a perfect party appetizer or side dish since no utensils are needed to enjoy them. The flavorful bean puree can be tweaked to your liking. Adjust the amount of cayenne in the filling depending on your tastebuds’ tolerance for heat, and substitute whatever fresh herb you prefer. If you have time, saute the chopped shallot in a small skillet coated with cooking spray until it is tender and browned to give the final dish a flavor boost. Look for packages of baby bell peppers in an assortment of colors in your grocery store’s produce section. If you can’t find them, try filling full-size bell peppers that have been quartered and seeded or hollowed-out cherry tomatoes.
