Preparation

Roast your peppers so as to peel them off easily, throw away the seeds and stuff with a mixture made up of anchovies, capers, black olives and diced eggplans previously sautée in a saucepan. Once stuffed, cook them on a medium heat for 10 minutes. In the end, sprinkle them with breadcrumbs.

Tips
Defend your pepper plant from insects in a natural way: spray on it a nice blend of water and Marsiglia soap, and some copper too.
Trivia
The scientific latin name of peppers is "capiscum annum": they are rich in luteolin, which is a flavonoid that helps to prevent cancer and ageing in general. Luteolin is rich also in fennels and celery.
