For an extra layer of flavor, consider browning the sausage before stuffing the cherry peppers.
If you can't find Peppadew peppers, other sweet cherry peppers will work well.
Adjust the amount of crushed red pepper flakes to control the level of spiciness.
Serve with crusty bread or couscous to soak up the delicious sauce.

    Stuffing the cherry peppers is a bit time-consuming, but it's totally worth the effort.

  • Hubert Schowalter

    I added a splash of dry white wine to the Dutch oven before roasting, and it added a nice acidity to the sauce.
