Ingredients:
1 large green sweet pepper
1 8 oz. package cream cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions (4 to 6)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 to 1 teaspoon finely chopped chipotle pepper in adobe sauce
4 ounces smoked salmon, flaked, with skin and bones removed
72 english cucumber slices

Instructions:

Preheat broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil.

Cut green pepper into quarters removing stem, seeds and membranes. Place pepper quarters skin sides up, on prepared baking sheet.

Broil 4 to 5 inches from the heat for 10-15 minutes or until pepper skins are charred.

Wrap pepper quarters in the foil, let stand 15-20 minutes or until cool enough to handle. Peel off skin and discard. Chop pepper.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth.

Beat in sour cream until smooth. Reserve 1/4 cup of the green onions, stir in the remaining green onions, the garlic, paprika and chipotle pepper into cream cheese mixture. Gently fold in salmon and chopped green pepper. Spread mixture in a 1-quart au gratin dish.

Bake for 15 minutes or until heated through, stirring once halfway through baking. Sprinkle with reserved green onions. Serve warm with cucumber slices.
