Italian-Style Stuffed Peppers
Ingredients List
-
4 green bell peppers, halved and seeded
-
1 (1 pound) loaf stale Italian bread, crumbled
-
½ cup water, or more as needed
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
1 small onion, chopped
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 (2 ounce) can anchovy fillets, chopped
-
8 pitted green olives, chopped
-
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
-
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
-
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
-
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a large baking dish.
-
Place the bell peppers, cut side up, in the prepared dish and set aside.
-
In a large bowl, crumble the bread and sprinkle with half a cup of water. Let it sit aside.
-
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over low heat and sauté the onions until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for another 2 minutes. Stir in the moistened bread, followed by anchovy fillets, olives, extra-virgin olive oil, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine the stuffing.
-
Fill the pepper halves with the stuffing mixture. Pour tomato sauce and a small amount of water around the peppers. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until the peppers are soft, about 45 to 60 minutes. Remove the foil during the last 15 minutes of cooking and occasionally baste with sauce.
