Peperoncini verdi fritti

(Friggitelli al pomodoro, Peperoncini verdi in padella)

Peperoncini verdi fritti is a traditional dish originating from Campania, and it's very popular in Naples. The dish is usually made with green peppers called friggitello, tomatoes, basil, garlic, olive oil, and salt. The peppers are washed, dried, and sautéed in olive oil with garlic, basil, and tomatoes.


Once done, the dish is seasoned with salt to taste, and it's then served, either hot or cold. Peperoncini verdi are often served as a filling for sandwiches and focaccia, and they can also be incorporated into a bruschetta. If desired, peperoncini fritti can be enriched with aromatic herbs.
