Pimientos del Piquillo Rellenos de Queso Roncal

Whisk 4 tablespoons of the olive oil, the vinegar, shallots, and scallions together in a mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Cut a small slit into each piquillo pepper and slide a stick of cheese into each pepper. Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a medium sauté pan over high heat. Add the peppers and brown on both sides until the cheese begins to melt, about 30 seconds. Transfer the peppers to a serving platter, drizzle with some of the dressing, and sprinkle with leaves from thyme and parsley sprigs. Serve immediately.
