- 2 fresh dinner rolls, outside grated off, inside shredded by hand
- 3 tablespoons plus 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

- In a medium bowl, place the shredded bread and drizzle with 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil.
- Add the parsley, anchovies, 2 tablespoons cheese, capers and garlic and mix well to combine.
- Season aggressively with pepper and timidly with salt, then slowly mix in the remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil to form a fairly soft paste.
- Divide the mixture evenly among the 4 hollowed peppers (do not pack the mixture in too tightly) and top with the remaining 2 tablespoons of cheese.
- Replace the top of each pepper and place each pepper in a baking dish that has been brushed with extra virgin olive oil.
