PORTLAND, Maine — Roasted red bell pepper halves with linguica and feta can serve as dinner or as an appetizer with smaller peppers.
While the happy colors of red peppers and yellow tomatoes pop against the white of the feta cheese, this dish allows for endless variation.
Try fennel sausage topped with Parmesan cheese or prosciutto topped with chevre.
While the feta and sausage are salty by nature, even so, a dusting of salt on the tomatoes makes the whole dish sing.
