Stuffed Peppers: Aji

• 3 large green bell peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded
• 1 small octopus (approximately 2 ounces), cut in small block pieces
• Olive oil, for sauteing
• 2 large tomatoes, cut in small block pieces
• 1 small green bell pepper, cut in small block pieces
• 1 small yellow bell pepper, cut in small block pieces
• 1 small orange bell pepper, cut in small block pieces
• 1/4 teaspoon chili powder

1. Begin by placing halved green bell peppers into a pot of water, just enough to cover them.
2. Boil peppers just until the skin color begins to change to a paler green and they become very slightly tender (about 2 to 3 minutes); immediately remove from heat and place peppers in cold water to halt the cooking process.
3. Preheat a grill.
4. Meanwhile, saute octopus in a little bit of oil over medium-high heat just until cooked through, about 1 to 2 minutes.
5. Mix in tomatoes, and chopped green, yellow, and orange peppers, and chili powder.
6. Simmer for approximately 5 to 10 minutes or until mixture becomes slightly tender.
7. Stuff bell pepper halves with octopus mixture and place in a baking dish.
8. Place the baking dish on the grill.
9. Close the cover and cook for 10 to 15 minutes.
10. Serve immediately.
