  • 10 caper fruits or capers, chopped

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 (204°C). 
  2. Cut off and reserve the tops for decoration. Discard the seeds and place the hot peppers in a small baking dish.  In a small bowl combine the caper fruits, tuna, extra virgin olive oil and ricotta. Fill each hot pepper. Pop the baking dish in the oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the peppers are soft. Depending on the size of your hot peppers, if you have any remaining ricotta mixture, spread it onto pieces of bread or crackers and serve alongside. Buon appetito!
