Vegan cheese and walnut stuffed padron peppers
This dish is based on the goat’s cheese version, but these vegan cheese and walnut stuffed padron peppers make lovely tapas for those with dairy allergy or intolerance too. Perfect with a glass of Cava during the festivities! (For a non-vegan version use soft goat’s cheese and honey).
