Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 peppers
- 4 cans tuna (roughly 400 grams)
- 6 tbsp avocado oil mayonnaise
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 pinch pepper
- 1 tsp dried onion or onion powder
- 1 tsp dried dill optional
Cashew Cheese Sauce
- 1 cup cashews
- 1/2-3/4 cup non-dairy milk
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 clove garlic optional
Instructions
- To start, place the cashews in a small bowl + cover them in boiling water. Side aside.
- Preheat the oven to 400f + line a baking sheet.
- Cut each of the pepper in half + remove the seeds + stem. Place the peppers cut side down on the baking sheet + pop into the oven for 10 minutes.
- While the peppers bake, combine the tuna, mayonnaise + all of spices into a bowl. Mix until combined.
- Drain the cashews + place them into a blender or food processor with all of the other cashew "cheese ingredients." Pulse until smooth - stopping and scraping down the sides, as necessary.
- Once the peppers have cooked for 10 minutes, remove them from the oven + turn the oven on to BROIL or GRILL. Turn the peppers cut side up + divide the tuna mixture evenly between all of the pepper halves. Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of the cashew cheese on top of each pepper.
- If desired, pop the peppers under the broiler or the grill for 3-5 minutes, or until the cashew cheese is slightly golden brown. Serve!
