Method

Halve the peppers lengthwise and remove the seeds and filaments. 

Heat 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a frying pan, add the peppers and cook gently for 20/25 minutes, so that they soften a little. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over them, then the grated pecorino, the drained capers and a pinch of oregano. Turn them every so often and cook for another 15 minutes. If they dry up, spray a little hot water on them. 

Once cooked, season with salt and add a little more oregano and the coriander: the peppers are now ready to serve. Garnish with shards of provola or smoked cheese and the taggiasche olives.  Enjoy!
