directions

  • Cut each bell pepper in half lengthwise; discard the stems, ribs and seeds.
  • Cut each half into six pieces.
  • Arrange the pieces with the skin side down on a decorative serving platter.
  • Set aside.
  • In a medium skillet, dry-roast the almonds over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, or until golden brown, stirring occasionally.
  • Transfer 1 tablespoon of the almonds to a small plate and reserve for garnishing.
  • Process the remaining almonds in a food processor or blender for 15 to 20 seconds, or until finely ground.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, lemon pepper seasoning blend, and lemon juice with an electric mixer for 1 to 2 minutes, or until creamy.
  • Add the ground almonds and beat for 10 seconds, or until combined.
  • Spoon the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a wide star or round tip.
  • Or snip the corner off a resealable plastic bag (a plastic freezer bag works well) and spoon in the mixture.
  • Pipe about 1 teaspoon of the mixture onto each bell pepper piece.
  • Garnish with the sliced almonds.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Love to try different recipes that I've never done before. Nothing to spicy or exotic and if I have all the ingredients I will try to make it. I love this website and all the different chefs on here. I also like to tweak my own recipes that I've posted after I read other chefs tweaks of my recipes. It helps me to be a lot more courageous in trying new recipes on myself. Thank you to all the chefs on Food.com
