[ABOUT 85 MILES FROM CANADA IN THE PANHANDLE OF IDAHO. NOW BACK IN THE DAY, LOGGING WAS THE BIG INDUSTRY. AND TO SUPPORT THOSE HUNGRY LOGGERS AND THEIR BIG APPETITES, THEY NEEDED PLACES THAT WERE SERVING GOOD OLD COMFORT FOOD, LIKE THIS PLACE HERE.]

My favorite thing is literally EVERY protagonist of anime always have a MASSIVE appetite

Whether we are reflecting on the comfort food of childhood, celebrating food’s tremendous diversity, or obsessing over calories and nutrition, cuisine is one of those rare topics that most people can speak about with authority and yet largely without controversy.

On this episode of BIG APPETITES, Pati Jinich runs a triathlon and is salved by the nourishing power of stuffed vegetables.  She and Sally Swift discuss the myriad veggies that can be stuffed with even more myriad ingredients, including, but not limited to:

Cabbage

Red bell peppers

Green peppers

Poblano peppers

Potatoes

Squash

Dried chiles

The titular wisdom is from Sally, and the idea for vegetable cordon bleu is brilliant.  Below, courtesy of The Splendid Table’s Lynne Rossetto Kasper, is the recipe for the meal pictured above.

Sicilian Stuffed Peppers on Grape Leaves

Makes 16 stuffed peppers, serving 4 generously as a main dish, or 8 as a first course.

30 minutes prep time; 10 minutes grill or stove time; 20 minutes grill or oven time

Serve hot or warm, and stuff them a day ahead if you’d like.

1/2 pound fresh whole-milk mozzarella in liquid, drained and cut into small dice or shredded

6 ounces Ricotta Salata or feta, shredded or crumbled

3 ounces sharp Provolone, shredded

1 tablespoon capers, or more to taste

1/4 of a medium to large red onion, minced

1/3 tight-packed cup Italian parsley leaves, minced

2 tight-packed tablespoons each fresh basil, spearmint and oregano leaves, torn

10 anchovy fillets, rinsed

8 small red, yellow and orange bell peppers

4 to 10 fresh grape leaves (optional) or tart greens

1. Blend together in a bowl all the cheeses, capers, herbs, red onion (save time by quick mincing the parsley in a processor, adding the onion for just a few seconds so it doesn’t turn to mush) and two of the anchovies. Cut the remaining anchovies in half lengthwise.

2. Cut peppers in half vertically, leaving stems intact. Remove seeds and inner veins. Soften each pepper half either over a moderately hot grill, stove burner, or under the broiler. You want them close to tender but not burnt. If finishing them in the oven, arrange them cut side up in an oiled, shallow baking dish or on a baking sheet. Otherwise,

3. Loosely mound stuffing in the peppers and set aside until ready to bake or grill. Preheat oven to 400ºF. or grill them over wood charcoal that’s medium hot. Figure either way it’ll take about 20 minutes for the cheese to soften and melt.

4. To serve, line a serving platter with the grape leaves or greens and arrange peppers on top of them. Garnish with strips of anchovy and serve hot or warm.

I’ve always had a knack for standing still. With the likes of that skill, you might think I’ve already paved a very successful future for myself. A mime with a single pose, an FBI agent who excels at eavesdropping until the guy leaves the room, one of those silver-painted humans downtown who think they’re statues. My options were endless from the beginning… And even if that doesn’t become my…
