Ball Chilli
C. Annuum
Ball Chilli is an early maturing chilli with pendant ”cherry” shaped fruit. The plant grows to about 70 cm in a pot and would grow bigger, if you plant it in the ground. The chilli pods are green turning red on maturity. They are ideal for stuffing with cheese, BBQ, salads and salsas. We use those delicious round chilli peppers and stuff them with feta cheese. The Ball Chilli isn’t very hot, so if you prefer a milder chilli, this one is for you.
Stuffed Ball Chillies

Meanwhile, place feta, basil and oregano in a bowl. Using a fork and mash to combine.
Now carefully remove skin from the chillies. Slice across top to remove stalk. Use a teaspoon, to remove the seeds.
