FOR THE PREPARATION OF THE TUNA STUFFED PEPPER ROLLS RECIPE
Bake the washed and whole peppers for about 40/45 minutes, turning them halfway for even cooking. Remove them from the oven, wrap them in parchment paper, and let them rest for 10/15 minutes.
Peel them, remove the seeds and inner filaments, and cut each into 4 pieces.
Chop half a shallot and stew it with a little water in a small pan for a few minutes and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
In another pan, toast the breadcrumbs on high heat, stirring often to avoid over-browning.
To finish the tuna stuffed pepper rolls recipe, add the shallot and the drained and flaked tuna with a fork.
Then add to the mixture the grated cheese and mixed aromatic herbs chopped with a knife.
If you want to make a variation, now is the time to add chopped capers or olives or chopped sun-dried tomatoes…
Place a little filling in each pepper piece and roll it up like a roll.
Secure each with a toothpick and season with salt and pepper.
They would already be great like this, but after arranging them regularly on a tray lined with parchment paper, bake them in a preheated oven at 428°F for 5 minutes.
Serve them hot or cold as you prefer… the tuna stuffed pepper rolls are DELICIOUSSSSSSS ^_^!

Tips and Notes
I really like peppers prepared this way, grilled or baked with a breadcrumb topping that I often change by adding capers, anchovies, sun-dried tomatoes to always have a very appetizing dish that with a slice of cheese, two hard-boiled eggs, a salad… becomes a tasty lunch or dinner even in summer!
I also recommend these other recipes with peppers as the main ingredient:
Pepper Gratin with Capers and Olives and much more!
