SICILIAN STUFFED PEPPERS

SICILIAN STUFFED PEPPERS
Stuffed Peppers Recipes INGREDIENTS

• 4 large green peppers
• 1 cup bread crumbs
• 1 large egg
• 3 tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 6 anchovy filets, chopped
• 2 tbsp. golden raisins (optional)
• 2 tbsp. pine nuts (optional)
• pinch each salt and pepper
• pinch red pepper flakes
• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1 large ripe tomato, peeled and chopped or 1 small can diced, drained
• 1/4 tsp. dried basil or 1/2 tsp. fresh, minced
• pinch of oregano
• 2 tbsp. fresh parsley, chopped
• 4 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
• 1/2 cup tomato sauce or puree

Stuffed Peppers Recipes INSTRUCTIONS
This is a tasty way to serve peppers. These are good using either green (or red) bell peppers, but I particularly enjoy them using sweet Italian peppers, a thin-walled pointed, long, light green frying pepper.

If using Italian frying peppers, we have most often pan fried them in olive oil with whole garlic cloves to flavor the oil over high heat, allowing the peppers to singe or brown well on the shoulders. When using these frying peppers, the tomato sauce should be omitted; we most often serve these without any sauce so the flavor stands out. Sometimes, slices of Italian cheese, capicola (hot ham) or prosciutto can be added to the filling.

The bell peppers are better baked in a casserole while the Italian peppers are better prepared on the stove top.

Cut a small circle at the top of the pepper to remove the stem and core and using a sharp spoon, scrape the ribs out. Rinse with cold water and drain upside down.

Beat the egg with the cheese, parsley, herbs and 1/2 cup olive oil.

In a bowl, combine all ingredients except for the 4 tsp. olive oil and tomato sauce. Stir thoroughly.

Stuff the peppers with the mixture and stand them upright in a casserole (or saute in olive oil as mentioned above, depending on the pepper type you've used). If you are oven baking, rub the outside of the peppers with olive oil before baking. Drizzle peppers with olive oil and top each with tomato sauce (if baking). Pour remaining tomato sauce around peppers.

Cover with foil and bake in a preheated 375°F oven for 45 minutes or until peppers are tender. Or sauté on the stovetop until browned, then cover for 10 minutes or so, until peppers are tender and cooked through.

These can be prepared several hours in advance and refrigerated or frozen for longer storage.

STUFFED ITALIAN FRYING PEPPERS

STUFFED ITALIAN FRYING PEPPERS

Stuffed Peppers Recipe INGREDIENTS

• 1 1/2 to 2 lbs. Italian frying peppers
• 1 1/4 cup Italian bread crumbs
• 2-3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 egg
• 1/2 tsp each oregano and basil (fresh is best - if using dry, reduce amount to 1/4 tsp)
• 2-3 cloves finely minced garlic.
• pinch of rubbed sage
• 3-4 anchovies (or to taste)
• 1 green onion or shallot, minced (optional)

Stuffed Peppers Recipe INSTRUCTIONS
Italian Frying Peppers are light green in color, thin-skinned, long and pointed.

Sauté garlic and green onion or a minced shallot, if using, in olive oil, til very lightly browned (a teaspoon of butter may also be added to speed the browning along). Mash the anchovies using a fork, stirring them into the olive oil.

Add parsley and other herbs, heat for 2 minutes. Add bread crumbs, then quickly mix in an egg which has been beaten (using a fork) with a few tablespoons warm water. Another teaspoon of olive oil may be added, if needed, for a smooth mixture.

Add cheese and mix well; stir in enough warm water to make a mix that can be pressed into the center of the peppers which have had their stems removed, and have been seeded and cored.

Saute the peppers in a skillet with 1/4" good olive oil with 3-5 peeled whole cloves garlic; turn the garlic to prevent browning. The garlic should just take on a lightly toasted color and will become soft, at which point it can be mashed into the oil and removed (save for spreading this on Italian bread - good before using for Bruschetta!)

The peppers should begin to blacken/brown on one side; turn them several times to distribute the coloring, keeping them always well coated in olive oil. When they appear to be somewhat tender and have streaks of browning, cover pan for 2 minutes and remove from heat. Serve right away, sprinkled with coarse kosher or sea salt.

Anchovy-stuffed peppers are even better on the grill, where grill marks will provide added appeal and color for an appetizing entree. Be sure to brush frequently with garlic infused olive oil.

These same stuffed peppers can be made in a similar way, except they are only cored and seeded, but not stuffed. In this case, they are served drizzled with garlic-mashed olive oil in sandwiches made with crusty Italian bread. (A few caramelized onions can also be added but this somewhat detracts from the focus on the pepper flavor).
