Savory Stuffed Peppers

Peppers are best, as are all vegetables, when in season, but peppers are readily available most of the year, and they’ll always work just fine. These peppers can be made in advance, as either an appetizer or a side dish. The recipe calls for anchovies and olives, which bring a Mediterranean flavor to the table, but, as with many of my recipes, you can make changes to the dish and omit either, and the result will still be delicious.
