How to prepare Stuffed Peppers Without Meat

To prepare the stuffed peppers without meat, first remove the crust from the bread and cut the crumb into cubes. Transfer the bread to a food processor 1 along with the basil leaves 2 and parsley 3.

Add the eggs 4 and blend 5 to obtain a homogeneous mixture. At this point, add the desalted capers 6.

Also add the olives 7, grated Parmigiano Reggiano 8, and a pinch of salt 9.

Finally, add the provolone cheese cut into small cubes 10. Mix well 11 to combine everything 12.

Move on to the peppers: cut them in half 13, then trim the edges and remove seeds and internal filaments 14. Place the peppers in a baking dish large enough to hold them and stuff them with the filling 15.

Sprinkle the top with breadcrumbs 16 and drizzle with a little olive oil 17, then also add the grated cheese 18.

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil 19 and bake in a static oven at 375°F for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and continue baking at 410°F in grill mode for another 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley to taste 20. Your stuffed peppers without meat are ready to be served 21!

Storage

The stuffed peppers without meat can be stored in the refrigerator for 1-2 days, in an airtight container.

Freezing is not recommended.

Advice

If you wish, you can enrich the filling with pine nuts for a slightly crunchy note.

Do not throw away the bread crust, but use it to make breadcrumbs, for example!
