Peperoncini Ripieni con Tonno (170gr)

Peperoncini Ripieni con Tonno, or tuna-stuffed chili peppers, are a traditional Italian delicacy from Calabria region, that brings together the bold flavors of the Mediterranean. These small, round chili peppers are carefully hollowed out and filled with a mixture of high-quality tuna, capers, anchovies, and aromatic herbs. The result is a perfect balance of spicy heat and savory richness, making them an ideal choice for antipasti platters, appetizers, or even as a gourmet snack.

Originating from the southern regions of Italy, particularly Calabria, these stuffed peppers are a staple in Italian cuisine. The preparation involves selecting the freshest chili peppers, which are then blanched to soften their texture. The tuna filling is prepared by mixing finely chopped tuna with capers, anchovies, garlic, and parsley, all bound together with a touch of olive oil. This mixture is then carefully spooned into each pepper, ensuring a generous filling.

Peperoncini Ripieni con Tonno can be enjoyed in various ways. Serve them as part of an antipasti spread, alongside cured meats, cheeses, and olives, or enjoy them on their own as a flavorful snack. They also pair wonderfully with a glass of crisp white wine or a light, refreshing beer. Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or looking for a unique addition to your culinary repertoire, these tuna-stuffed chili peppers are sure to impress.
