- Handful of fresh rocket (arugula)
- 2 tbsp crumbled feta cheese
- 20 drained peppadew peppers
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: Finely chop the grilled artichokes and fresh rocket to create a uniform mixture that will easily fit inside the peppadews.

Notes
- For a smoother filling, you can pulse the artichokes and rocket briefly in a food processor before mixing.
- Use fresh rocket for the best peppery flavor; baby rocket is especially tender.
- This recipe can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 4 hours before serving, but fill the peppadews just before serving to maintain texture.
- Substitute feta with goat cheese or cream cheese for a different flavor profile.
- Peppadews are mildly sweet and tangy pickled peppers; ensure they are well drained to prevent the filling from becoming watery.
