The Baked Stuffed Friggitelli are an alternative to those usually fried. This type of non-spicy green chili has an elongated shape and a size ranging from that of a spicy chili to that of a sweet bell pepper. In this recipe, I was helped by what I had in the fridge, all ingredients with strong flavors; after all, when cooking stuffed vegetables, it’s about clearing the fridge of leftovers, and the result is always excellent.
