Peperoncini ripieni
With tuna fish, anchovies and capers, cheese, olives and more, the peperoncini piccanti ripieni (stuffed hot peppers) are a irresistible delicacy of culinary traditions of Apulia and Calabria, common in southern Italy. Preserved in oil, hot peppers stuffed, provide for a prudent and careful preparation that initially involve a careful cleaning of the chillies and then be cleaned of seeds, bollentati in white vinegar and white wine in equal parts and lightly salted before being drained of inverted a towel, leaving at rest for one night so they can be perfectly dry and the stuffing can be done for example with anchovies and capers in salt or both preparations, as desired, with other delicacies. After being placed in jars and then covered with olive oil and making sure that the oil covers it all, (sometimes it may even be necessary deionised), the jars are sealed properly and stored in a cool dry dark place. A delicacy for those who wish the intense flavor and good food. |
