Discover the flavors of Sicily with Sicilian-Style Stuffed Peppers: A Feast for the Senses, a delightful dish bursting with vibrant ingredients!
Embark on a tantalising journey through the vibrant landscapes of Sicily with Lucia Amato's Sicilian-Style Stuffed Peppers. This dish is a culinary masterpiece that captures the essence of Sicilian cuisine in every bite. Picture sweet and succulent bell peppers filled with a savoury mixture of breadcrumbs, olives, capers, anchovies, and garlic, all harmoniously brought together by the rich notes of extra virgin olive oil. The aroma alone will transport you to the sun-drenched shores of Sicily. Perfect for a summer gathering or a light dinner, these stuffed peppers are best enjoyed with a glass of chilled Cerasuolo di Vittoria, making each mouthful a celebration of Mediterranean flavours.
Preheat the oven to 200°C and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Wash the peppers, cut them in half, and remove the seeds and white inner parts.
Arrange the peppers on the baking tray with the cut side up and bake for 20-25 minutes until the skin darkens and peels off easily.
In a mixing bowl, combine breadcrumbs, chopped olives, capers, anchovies, parsley, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper to prepare the filling.
Remove the peppers from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Fill each pepper half with the stuffing, compacting it slightly with your fingers.
Roll each pepper half onto itself and secure with a toothpick.
Place the stuffed peppers back on the tray and bake for 15-20 minutes until the filling is golden and crispy.
For a vegetarian version, omit the anchovies and add more capers or olives for extra flavour. Serve with a side of fresh green salad or crusty bread to create a complete meal.
Pair with a glass of Cerasuolo di Vittoria. This Sicilian red wine complements the dish's aromatic flavours with its floral and fruity bouquet. Serve at 14-16°C for the best experience.
