Stuffed peppers

Stuffed peppers (puparuoli 'mbuttinati) simply always taste good. In Italy, too, they are often prepared with rice or meat.

Equipment

1 Oven
1 oven dish

Ingredients

4 peppers yellow or red
2-3 small aubergines
oil for deep frying
approx. 75g bread crust white bread
4 anchovy fillets in oil
1 clove garlic finely chopped
1 tablespoon capers washed thoroughly
10 olives green pitted
2 tablespoon olive oil
salt to taste
parsley finely chopped

Instructions

Pre-heat the oven to 200°C (upper and lower heat). Wash the peppers, cut off a flat top including the stem. Remove the seeds and any flesh from the peppers. Wash the aubergines and cut into 1 cm cubes. Fry the aubergines in plenty of oil until crispy, remove and place on kitchen paper.
Heat olive oil in a second pan and fry the breadcrumbs which were cut into small pieces. Add the garlic and the chopped olives, anchovies and capers and cook for a few minutes. Add the parsley and season to taste. In a bowl, mix the fried bread with the aubergines until a homogeneous mixture forms.
Add the mixture to the peppers and cover with the "lid" of the pepper. Grease an oven dish with oil and place the peppers in it, ideally close together. Bake in the pre-heated oven for 15 minutes at 200°C, then reduce the temperature to 180°C and cook for another 15 minutes.

Notes

Anchovies, capers and olives are very salty. So be sparing with the salt! Since I have been living in Austria, I often replace the white bread crust with diced bread rolls. This makes the filling more compact. Try it out and see which one tastes better for you.
