Stuffed Pepper Ring Cake with Cheese

For pepper lovers and Sicilian cuisine enthusiasts.
This dish was born from the need to find a cold, ready, and above all, complete and tasty dish.
We’ll fry nothing, to keep it lighter, we’ll use a flavorful filling with capers and provola, and if you want, you can use smaller molds for single servings.
You can serve it as a centerpiece or on the plate. Ideal for buffet-style dinners, it will make you look great.
