Method
- Clean the elongated sweet peppers: remove the top cap and gently remove seeds and white membranes inside.
- Soak a piece of bread in water briefly, then squeeze it well.
- Finely chop anchovies, a garlic clove, and parsley together.
- In a bowl, combine the chopped mixture with the squeezed bread, pitted olives (roughly chopped), capers, grated Parmesan, salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Mix everything together like a meatloaf.
- Prepare a potato bed: using a mandoline, slice potatoes into even, fairly thin rounds. Spread a little oil and salt on the bottom of a baking dish, arrange the potato slices in a single layer, and drizzle with a little more oil and salt.
- Stuff each pepper with the prepared filling, pressing it in well.
- Place the stuffed peppers on top of the potato bed. Drizzle with a little olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
- Bake in a preheated static oven at 190°C (375°F) for about one hour, or until the peppers are slightly charred and tender. (Optionally, cover with aluminum foil for the first 20 minutes to prevent excessive browning.)
- Remove from the oven and serve warm.
