Take your taste buds on a trip to the Greek islands with these stuffed mini peppers that make the most of Mediterranean flavors. Creamy cannellini beans are mashed with zesty lemon juice, aromatic oregano, and a pinch of salt to make a deliciously simple filling. Stuff each pepper half with the bean mixture, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve tapas-style at your next dinner party. To make this recipe your own, feel free to add other soft green herbs to the bean mixture or drizzle with a little balsamic vinegar. You can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
