The Neapolitan stuffed peppers, ‘puparuol m’buttunat’, are a typical dish of Neapolitan cuisine that can be prepared quickly, usually stuffed with minced meat but also with eggplants or zucchini and therefore meatless.
The recipe for Neapolitan stuffed peppers is very simple, you first need to cook the peppers and remove the skin if you prefer, I like them with the skin, but it’s not very digestible, so once cooked they can be stuffed with a filling of meat, olives, capers, eggs, and bread.
A rich dish perfect for both lunch and dinner, great accompanied by a simple salad.
