You can buy these peppers already preserved in a jar in the Italian section of most supermarkets or you can make your own by boiling them in a 1:1 white vinegar:H2O solution. Carefully remove the stems and seeds, then in a separate bowl mix bread crumbs, parsley, capers, cheese, toasted chopped nuts, garlic, if you like add anchovies or prosciutto or even raisins if you want them sweeter. These are delicious, spicy, vinegary treats- one is never enough. You can prepare them even a day in advance and refrigerate (so they're perfect to bring over as an appetizer to someone's house) OR even freeze them and when they thaw bake them until the tips are slightly golden brown. They're sure to impress even the toughest of crowds.

About Me

- Hi there, my name is Giacomo and I enjoy things delicious. Long story short, my parents moved from Italy to NJ where I grew up (and loved it) but found myself in Washington, DC fourteen years ago and haven’t yet found an excuse to leave. Food has always been a huge part of my day and life… from happy times, sad times, holidays, drunken escapades and all the rest in between, I’ve usually spent a good portion of that time putting something in my mouth. I guess I started this blog a little while ago to keep track of what I was cooking and places I’d eat-- simply because my friends were always asking “how do you make this” or “where do you get that” but surprisingly over time I guess real people started reading too. SO, take a look around and let me know what you think. You’ll see that the backbone of lots of my food is Italian but I manage to cover most bases. Thanks for stopping by. BUON APPETITO!
