Today’s recipe is really about a fun presentation of stuffed peppers for Halloween Dinner. Halloween is the second most popular holiday in the U.S. Whether you’re having company for dinner or just want to have fun with your family, cute carved stuffed peppers are tasty food art. Carve the peppers like a Jack o’lantern. For Halloween, use orange or red peppers. Carve the pepper. You can make them the cutest or the scariest jack o-lanterns. Add spooky touches like some bucatini “worms” coming out of the eyes or mouth, or serve to adults with a steak knife plunged into the pepper menacingly. A little tomato “blood” or melted cheese running from the face or head is fun too.
