Chevre-Stuffed Peppadews

Peppadews are a whimsically named pepper from South Africa. A few years ago they started appearing in the fresh produce aisle of Whole Foods, and a friend told me that traditionally they are marinated in a little balsamic vinegar and stuffed with goat cheese. Last week, I saw some pre-marinated peppers at Whole Foods and decided it would make a nice snack with some chevre and large black olives. Peppadews have a very sweet, fresh flavor that goes perfectly with the tang of vinegar and salt from a good strong cheese. Don’t worry if you can’t handle spicy food; peppadews are perfectly harmless despite looking like habaneros!
