Chillies stuffed with tuna

To prepare the peppers you must first of allor clean them and deprive them of seeds being careful not to break them.
Then dip them for 3-4 minutes in a pot with the vinegar boiling together with white wine, black pepper, bay leaves, a few juniper berries and cloves.
Leave them then dry upside down on a clean towel.
Finally, fill them with a cream prepared by blending 100 grams of tuna in oil, 20 grams of anchovies and a handful of desalted capers. If you prefer to hear more consistencies, instead of blending everything, chop with a knife and then press the mixture well inside the peppers.
At this point all that remains is store everything in sterilized glass jars, fill with extra virgin olive oil almost to the edge, close with the cap and sterilize in boiling water for about 30 minutes.

Stuffed peppers without cooking

This recipe does not require cooking times, but only 24 hours of waiting.
The clean and seedless peppers are left soaking in vinegar for a whole day and then, once drained and dried, they are filled.

Tofu-filled chillies

A vegan variant of the classic recipe.
The tuna in the filling is replaced by tofu. Simply blend everything in the same way with the capers, a clove of garlic and parsley and fill the peppers.
If you don't like tofu another vegan variant could be with a filling of black olives, capers, fresh oregano, thyme and breadcrumbs.

Chillies stuffed with cheese

Here is another vegetarian, but not vegan, version of this recipe.
The filling is based on cheese, specifically a mix of ricotta and goat cheese flavored with chives, thyme and fresh oregano. A real delicacy with a delicate taste.

Chili peppers stuffed with anchovies

In this case the filling is not in cream, but the anchovies and capers must be placed whole inside the peppers. You can, if you like, also add some pitted black olives and of course the aromatic herbs you prefer.
