This is a pretty simple recipe that takes very little preparation and produces great results, whether it's done over charcoal, on a gas grill, or even in the oven. It's been a hit with everyone I've ever made it for.
First select your desired peppers, based on the amount of heat, color preference, etc.
Next slice off the tops and gouge out as much seeds and connecting membranes as possible, without piercing the sides of the pepper.
Cut stick pepperoni into spears long enough, and broad enough to nearly fill each pepper, and shove the pepperoni into the peppers.
Place the stuffed peppers into any sort of container that can be covered and allow them to steam while they are over the heat. Sometimes I use a lid-able pyrex container, sometimes I use several layers of aluminum foil twisted at the top.
Drizzle some olive oil over the peppers, sprinkle them with grated parmesan and a little garlic powder, some salt and pepper to taste, and cover them completely with a blanket of mozzarella cheese. Cover with a lid if using pyrex, or seal completely if using a foil wrap.
Throw them into the oven, or onto the grill, and allow them to cook until the peppers are to the desired tenderness, it doesn't hurt to open their container and check for tenderness as long as you seal them up again.
Serve them as a side dish, or on some Italian bread like a sandwich....
MMMMMM mmmmmmm good.
