Peppers Stuffed With Herbed Potatoes And Cheese

Judgment seat translates bema , which, in its simplest definition, describes a place reached by steps, or a platform. The Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Old Testament) uses it that way in Nehemiah 8:4. In Greek culture bema referred to the elevated platform on which victorious athletes received their crowns, much like the medal stand in the modern Olympic games. In the New Testament it was used on the judgment seats of Pilate (Matt. 27:19; John 19:13), Herod (Acts 12:21), and Festus (Acts 25:6, 10, 17). There was also a bema at Corinth, where unbelieving Jews unsuccessfully accused Paul before the Roman proconsul Gallio (Acts 18:12, 16, 17). A person was brought before a bema to have his or her deeds examined, in a judicial sense for indictment or exoneration, or for the purpose of recognizing and rewarding some achievement. Writing to the Romans of this same event, Paul described it as “the judgment seat [ bema ] of God” (Rom 14:10). God the Father is the ultimate Judge, but He has “given all judgment to the Son” (John 5:22).

INSTRUCTIONS

Carefully slice a lid off each pepper and with a small serrated knife
cut away the center piece of each lid, leaving only edible flesh. Put
the lids aside. Scoop out all the membranes and seeds and wash the
peppers thoroughly. Plunge them into boiling water for 2 to 3  minutes,
remove, and drain upside down. Pour 4 Tbs. of the melted  butter into a
saucepan and over low heat; saute the asafoetida for a  few moments.
Add the dill, paprika, salt, basil, and coriander. Stir  and remove
from the heat. Place the mashed potatoes, three-quarters  of the grated
cheese, and the herbed butter in a bowl and mix until  smooth. Stuff
all the peppers with the herbed potato and sprinkle the  reserved
cheese on top. Replace the cored lids. Place in a baking  dish, brush
with reserved butter and bake in a preheated oven at 355  F for 30 to
40 minutes or until the peppers are tender and lightly  browned.  Great
