These stuffed piquillo peppers offer a sophisticated blend of sweet, smoky, and tangy flavours, making them an ideal choice for a vegetarian tapas spread or a light starter. The vibrant red peppers, a staple of Spanish cuisine, provide a beautiful contrast to the creamy goat cheese filling. By lightly warming them in a frying pan, the cheese softens just enough to create a luxurious texture that pairs perfectly with the crisp, herb-flecked dressing.

A heart-healthy and naturally low-calorie option, this dish relies on high-quality ingredients like aged Spanish sherry vinegar and fresh thyme to deliver maximum impact with minimal effort. It is a versatile recipe that suits a casual weekend lunch or a more formal dinner party. Simply serve these warm peppers with a slice of crusty sourdough bread to soak up the zingy shallot vinaigrette.
