PROCEEDINGS
To prepare stuffed peppers Sicilian, after watching the VIDEO RECIPE you can find on my YouTube channel, wash the peppers, grooving with a knife to remove the upper part and set it aside; drain the peppers with care the seeds and white filaments.
Preheat oven to 200 degrees static. Grease a baking dish with a little olive oil and salt lightly.
In a bowl, prepare the filling by mixing the breadcrumbs, parsley and finely chopped capers (if you like). Add the grated pecorino and parmigiano, a pinch of salt and a grinding of pepper and tomato Peel and private water and cut into small cubes.
Then add to the mixture as much olive oil as required to moisten it all without making it ' sticky ': must be a grainy but soft stuffing. Just like the mix you see in my VIDEO RECIPE. Fill each pepper with a little’ of the filling, add some diced cheese and then some’ of the filling, without pressing too much so that the filling remains soft.
Arrange the peppers in baking dish Sicilian, add their respective "covers"” and cook for 20 minutes. Then scroll down to the breezy and bake another 5-10 minutes until the filling is golden, then bake.
Allow to cool peppers stuffed Sicilian and serve. The Sicilian stuffed peppers are also delicious the next day, in the unlikely event that someone's leftovers. Bon appétit!
THE PAIRING: The stuffed peppers Sicilian combine well with a red wine, especially if siciliano, soft and round. We chose King Frederick, a Pgi Avola product from the farm Pupil, in Syracuse.
