Inspired by Cristiano's cousin Mariangela.

You might enjoy this recipe or a similar version on our tours in Piedmont or other regions of Italy!

Ingredients for 8 people:

• 3 bell peppers
• 3 Tbsp of green sauce (see recipe here) 
• 1/4 lb of canned tuna
• 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs
• 4 Tbsp of milk

Directions:

• Wash and dry the peppers
• Prick each whole pepper with a fork in several places, then lay on a foil covered cookie sheet and bake in the oven at 400F for 40 minutes or until done
• Place the roasted peppers in a paper bag, roll closed, and let cool
• Carefully remove the skin of each pepper and slice them into pieces, each at least two inches wide
• In a bowl with a fork mix together the green sauce, canned tuna, breadcrumbs and milk
• Cover the interior side of each slice of pepper with a generous lining of sauce. Then roll

There are different versions of this recipe and I love how simple is this one. Buon appetito!
