Tips, changes and questions from people who cooked this recipe.
Preheat the oven to 175°C. Peel the peppers with a vegetable peeler. Peel ripe tomatoes with a sharp knife or peeler. Chop both vegetables before cooking.
Heat the olive oil in a pan. Sauté the peppers and tomatoes for 5–7 minutes. Set aside and cool for about 15 minutes, as in the source.
Melt the butter in a saucepan. Stir in the flour and cook until bubbling and no longer raw-smelling without scorching. Stir in the cottage cheese or feta and season to taste.
Combine the vegetables and cheese mixture in an ovenproof dish. Bake for about 15 minutes, until hot throughout and the peppers are tender. Serve warm.
