Ingredients

1 lb mini sweet peppers
1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
1 tsp kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
4 oz goat cheese
1 cup cilantro leaves
1/2 cup shelled roasted pistachios
1 small lime
1 jalapeño
1 clove garlic
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil or avocado oil
1/4 tsp salt (optional)
freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 tbsp water

Steps

Blend the cilantro, pistachios, lime juice, jalapeño, garlic, water, salt, pepper, and half the oil until mostly smooth.
Toss the peppers with the remaining oil, salt, and pepper, then let them stand for 5 minutes.
Heat a grill to medium-high, about 400 F, and grill the peppers for 8 to 10 minutes, turning often.
Top the hot peppers with goat cheese and grill for 1 minute more, until the cheese softens.
Drizzle the cilantro sauce over the peppers and serve warm.
