Red pepper rolls

Servings: 8

Ingredients and preparation

• 6 red bell peppers
• 2 diced peaches
• 6 tbs fat-free cream cheese
• 10 julienned fresh basil leaves
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp ground black pepper
• 1 tbs olive oil
• 24 toothpicks

Directions

Roast red peppers over an open flame until skin blisters, then remove skin. Cut the peppers in half and remove the seeds and stem. Cut each half into three long strips.

In a bowl, combine the peaches, cream cheese and basil. Mix well.

Place peppers flat, skin side down, then put 1/2 teaspoon of peach mixture on one end of each pepper slice. Roll up the pepper, so the peach mixture will be in the center.

Brush the rolled peppers with olive oil and add salt and pepper to taste. Use a toothpick to hold each roll together.
