The tasty pepper rolls are a simple, economical recipe to prepare peppers in a versatile way.
Appetizing and made with very few ingredients, they bring a savory and delicious side dish to your table.
The filling is made from breadcrumbs, pecorino, anchovies and aromatic herbs, everything you need to create this delightful bite!
I chose pecorino because it has a stronger flavor, but if you prefer, you can replace it with parmesan or grana.
The tasty pepper rolls are great enjoyed either hot or cold, making them a perfect dish to prepare and take with you on picnics with friends.
