Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

For filling
1 medium onion, chopped
2 anchovy fillets, rinsed, patted dry, and finely chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 cup toasted bread crumbs
1 cup whole-milk ricotta
1/3 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (1 oz)
2 tablespoons drained capers, rinsed, patted dry, and chopped
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
For peppers
1 1/2 lb baby red and yellow bell peppers* (2 inches in diameter; 24)
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Make filling:
  • Cook onion and anchovies in oil in a heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until onion is golden, about 8 minutes. (Anchovies will dissolve.) Transfer to a bowl and stir in bread crumbs, cheeses, capers, eggs, and parsley until combined well.
  • Stuff and bake peppers:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Cut tops from baby peppers (keep stems on tops) and reserve. Cut a very thin slice from bottom of each pepper so it can stand upright (don't worry if you make a hole in bottom). Scoop out and discard seeds, then divide filling among peppers. Cover with reserved tops and arrange peppers upright in an oiled baking dish. Add water to dish and drizzle peppers with oil.
  • Bake, uncovered, in middle of oven until peppers are tender and filling is puffed, 50 to 60 minutes.
  • Available at specialty produce markets like Garden of Eden (212-255-4200), mail orders accepted.

I'm not a big fan of bell peppers, but I loved these stuffed peppers. The filling was flavorful and the peppers were cooked perfectly.

These peppers are a great way to use up leftover rice and veggies. They're also a healthy and delicious meal.

I love that these peppers can be customized to your own taste. You can add different spices, cheeses, or vegetables to the filling.

These peppers are a great make-ahead meal. I often make them on the weekend and then reheat them during the week for lunch or dinner.

I had some trouble finding baby bell peppers, but I was able to use regular green peppers instead. They worked just fine.

These peppers were a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some extra spices next time.
