| 1. Preheat broiler in oven. | 2. Place peppers on foil on a baking sheet and place under broiler. | 3. Turn peppers as the blacken, to darken all sides. | 4. When skin blisters and blackens all over, remove from oven and place peppers in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. | 5. Allow peppers to sit undisturbed for 10-15 minutes to soften skins. | 6. Meanwhile, cook mushrooms in oil until soft and tender, seasoning with salt, pepper, and herbs. | 7. Drain off any excess water that releases from mushrooms and allow to cool. | 8. Mix ricotta in a small bowl with dijon mustard until smooth. | 9. Add mushrooms to this mixture (when cool) and stir. | 10. Rinse peppers under cool water (especially if they are still warm- to keep from burning your hands) and peel away loose skin. | 11. Make a slit along the side of each pepper, and using knife to cut close to the stem on the inside, remove seed cluster. | 12. Rinse pepper to remove any stray seeds. | 13. Fill each pepper with a portion of the ricotta mixture, and skewer the pepper closed with one or more toothpicks. | 14. Gently place pepper on foil on a baking sheet. | 15. Sprinkle tops of peppers with grated cheese. | 16. If you have any leftover filling (depending on your pepper's size) you may want to place this in an ovenproof ramekin and sprinkle with grated cheese as well. | 17. Broil peppers for 3-5 minutes (ramekin as well, if using), or until cheese lightly browns and filling is warmed through. | 18. Serve hot. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
