Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 red sweet bell peppers or 6 yellow sweet bell peppers, about 6 oz each
1 large eggplant (1-1/2 pounds)
2 teaspoons salt
1 medium fennel bulb, chopped about (1 cup)
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
8 garlic cloves, minced
3/4 cup black olives or 3/4 cup green olives, pitted and quartered
1/2 cup snipped fresh cut flat-leaf Italian parsley
1/3 cup dried capers, rinsed
1/4 cup snipped fresh sage
2 tablespoons of fresh grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Slice the tops off of each of the bell peppers and remove the seeds. Place peppers on foil lined baking sheet, and broil about 4 inches from heat for 12 to 15 minutes or until charred. Turn to brown all sides. After they are browned, place the peppers in a plastic bag to sweat for about 30 minutes, and then remove the skin.
  • Meanwhile cut the eggplant into 1/2 inch slices and sprinkle both sides with salt; let drain for 30 minutes. Wipe off excess salt and cut eggplant into 1/2 inch cubes. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • In a skillet sauté the fennel in olive oil for 4 minutes. Add the eggplant and garlic and sauté 7 to 8 minutes more. Remove the skillet from heat and add olives, parsley, capers, sage, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
  • Divide filling among peppers. Arrange peppers in baking dish and sprinkle with cheese. Bake in preheated oven uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes or until heated through.
