AMIEs PEPERONI AMMOLLICATI (Peppers Stuffed w/Breadcrumbs & Parsley)

Heat the oven to 180°C.

Cut the peppers into quarters and remove the cores, ribs and seeds. Heat 4 tbsp of the oil in a large frying pan until very hot and then add the pepper, skin side down. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook for about 10 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally.

Mix together the remaining ingredients in a bowl.

When the peppers are just soft, place them in an oiled baking dish, cut side up. Pour the juice from the pan into the breadcrumb mixture and mix well. Taste and check the seasoning.

Place a small mound of stuffing into each peace, drizzle with the remaining oil and bake for 15 minutes.

Serves 4. Serves hot and enjoy!
