Ingredients

• Salt (1/2 teaspoon, or to taste)
• Black pepper (1/4 teaspoon, or to taste)
• Balsamic glaze (2 tablespoons)
• Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
• Fresh mint (1 tablespoon, finely chopped)
• Fresh parsley (1 tablespoon, finely chopped)

• Dried figs (1/2 cup, chopped)
• Bell peppers (4, tops cut off and seeds removed)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the bell peppers by cutting off their tops and carefully removing the seeds and membranes. Ensure you keep the peppers intact.
3. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the chopped figs, crumbled feta cheese, chopped parsley, chopped mint, olive oil, balsamic glaze, salt, and pepper. Mix together until all ingredients are well incorporated.
4. Divide the fig and feta mixture evenly among the prepared bell peppers, stuffing them until they are full but not overflowing.
5. Place the stuffed peppers upright on a baking sheet. Ensure they are spaced out so they bake evenly.
6. Bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the filling is hot and slightly golden.
7. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Serve these vibrant, flavorful stuffed peppers hot for the best experience.
