FFWD - Tuna Stuffed Piquillo Peppers - er Mini Capsicums




This week's fishy French Fridays with Dorie offering is Tuna Stuffed Piquillo Peppers.  I couldn't be stuffed finding the piquillo peppers to stuff, so I bought mini capsicums instead and stuffed them with the tuna mixture:
 

I served the stuffed capsicums with a bright array of stir fried vegetables, making for a colourful lunch.

The tuna filling was a little too fishy for me - I would have preferred some ricotta in with the fish, or for something else to break up the tuna-ishness of the ensemble.  Not a repeat for me.

Hehe you couldn't be stuffed! :P And yes I would think that it would be quite fishy with the tuna!

Tuna and ricotta? That's an interesting combination. Wouldn't have thought about that on my own.

I'm with you on canned tuna, way too fishy! They all look so cute lined up and I have always wanted to try to stuff these kinds of peppers so you have inspired me to find a filling we would like and have at it.

I'm just catching up from last week. I love your colorful yellow peppers! I did like the filling, though I doubt I'll stuff into peppers next time.
