Stuffed Baby Bell Peppers
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 anchovy fillets, rinsed, patted dry, and finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3/4 cup toasted bread crumbs
- 1 cup whole-milk ricotta
- 1/3 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (1 oz)
- 2 tablespoons drained capers, rinsed, patted dry, and chopped
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 1 1/2 lb baby red and yellow bell peppers* (2 inches in diameter; 24)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Cook onion and anchovies in oil in a heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until onion is golden, about 8 minutes.
- (Anchovies will dissolve.)
- Transfer to a bowl and stir in bread crumbs, cheeses, capers, eggs, and parsley until combined well.
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Cut tops from baby peppers (keep stems on tops) and reserve.
- Cut a very thin slice from bottom of each pepper so it can stand upright (don't worry if you make a hole in bottom).
- Scoop out and discard seeds, then divide filling among peppers.
- Cover with reserved tops and arrange peppers upright in an oiled baking dish.
- Add water to dish and drizzle peppers with oil.
- Bake, uncovered, in middle of oven until peppers are tender and filling is puffed, 50 to 60 minutes.
