Ingredients:
Salsa:
1 cup chopped peeled fresh mango
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
Stuffed Peppers:
4 tbsp fresh grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 15-oz container ricotta cheese (I used low fat)
1 14-oz can quartered artichoke hearts, drained
8 oz fresh crabmeat
4 poblano chiles
Yields 4 servings.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine all ingredients for the salsa in a bowl and mix well. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
To make the stuffing for the peppers, process 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese with next four ingredients (through ricotta cheese) in a food processor until smooth. Place into a bowl and mix in the crab and artichokes.
Cut the chiles in half lengthwise and remove seeds. Try to cut them in a way that will give you deep halves rather than shallow halves (makes them easier to stuff).
Stuff the halves with the crab mixture and place on a baking sheet. I lined mine with parchment paper just to make cleanup easier. You don't have to use the parchment paper, but if you don't it would probably be a good idea to spray your baking sheet with cooking spray. Once all the peppers are stuffed, sprinkle remaining 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese over top.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until tops begin to brown. I ended up broiling mine for about 5 or so minutes at the end to crisp and brown the tops. Make sure you keep a close eye on the peppers if you use the broiler. I've learned the hard way that things burn all too easily when broiling is involved....
