Preparation

Step 1

In a medium bowl, mix the cheeses with the chorizo and raisins and set aside.

Remove the piquillo peppers from the jar and drain.

Gently stuff each pepper about three-quarters full with the cheese-chorizo mixture.

Coat the bottom of a large skillet (preferably cast iron) with the olive oil.

Heat the oil over medium-high heat and, working in batches, sear the peppers until they're blistered and the cheese has melted, about 2 minutes per side.

Transfer the stuffed peppers to a platter and serve immediately.
