Pan-fried Friggitelli

Friggitelli are a variety of small green peppers with a sweet flavor typical of central and southern Italy! As the name suggests, these vegetables are usually pan-fried, and today we will prepare them just like that: pan-fried friggitelli, a side dish to pair with fish or meat courses, such as baked chicken breast or pan-fried prawns, but also a topping for tasty first courses like gnocchi. And perhaps you didn't know that they also go very well with pasta!
Tradition has it that friggitelli are cooked with the stem on so they can be eaten with the hands... we, although having used utensils, have left them whole to preserve their shape and flavor, but if you prefer you can clean them from seeds and cut them into smaller pieces! Take advantage of the season to enjoy pan-fried friggitelli and savor them in their simplicity.
