    Romano Peppers with Aubergine and Cheese

    Serve this recipe as an alternative main course or as a side dish. The vegetables can be roasted in advance, then just top with aubergines and cheese and heat through. We used Ardrahan cheese, an Irish washed rind, semi-soft cheese that's available from the Cheese Service Counter.
