Padrón peppers stuffed with cheese - the recipe uses tetilla because it is produced in Galicia, like the peppers, but any soft cheese will be fine. As an alternative to frying, you can cook the peppers on a baking sheet in a hot oven if you prefer.

Cut a lengthwise slit in the peppers and fill with small oblongs of cheese. Make sure you can close the pepper.
