I've been stalling to make Tuna-Packed Piquillo Peppers for months. I've had the ingredients on hand for ages, and could have cooked it with the group, but was so uninspired that I let it slide. Might as well get it over with.
Instead of stuffing roasted red peppers (I couldn't find piquillo peppers) with the tuna/caper/olive/lemon zest and juice/parsley combo, I sliced the peppers and piled everything on top of arugula.
Check it off the list.
Yes, if I recall correctly, this was one to check off the list :-)
ReplyDeleteLOL...I enjoyed these, but not enough to repeat, either!
ReplyDeleteI've repeated making the tuna filling. I like the flavors better than my usual tuna salad. On the other hand, stuffing the peppers was way too fussy. I like your salad interpretation better. Sorry you didn't love it.
ReplyDeleteI have been wanting to try this recipe out but the stuffing part keeps me from it. I like your solution. a salad is always easier to put together.
ReplyDeleteIt is a bit fussy. I prefer Betsy's idea of just repeating the filling.
ReplyDeleteI never got this one made. I prefer your interpretation rather than stuffing little peppers….I know I would enjoy it as a salad. Looks pretty too! I could not find the Piquillo peppers either.
ReplyDeleteI really liked this one stuffed. It definitely tastes different than as a salad which I have had similar salads before.
ReplyDeleteIts good to have things crossed off our lists! Good try!
ReplyDeleteI actually loved this recipe, stuffed, warmed a bit. The piquillo peppers add a nice flavor, and are also good stuffed with goat cheese and capers (warmed too). Sorry this week didn't really work out for you!!
ReplyDeleteI really liked this one and piquillo peppers do have a unique flavor worth seeking out sometime. I have a jar here, want it? :)
ReplyDeleteI am with you - I wasn't excited by the stuffed peppers. Maybe next week!
ReplyDeleteI haven't made the stuffed peppers yet but the other day as I was looking through the book I saw them and thought mmm they look nice but how am I supposed to stuff them? oh well maybe not! :)
ReplyDeleteI have not made these yet, but will have to at some point I suppose. I am not a huge fan of tuna so this one may get a pass.
ReplyDeleteI"m with Trevor in this one. Piquillo peppers make a great tapa and their flavor is different from regular roasted peppers. I like your salad though. It would make a great lunch.
ReplyDeleteI liked this kinda because I had never worked with (nor, heard of) Piquillo peppers. Of course I didn't stuff them very well, a little messy. (They were fragile.) And I remember thinking my tuna-fish salad was much better. You didn't like the Visitandine? I loved it.
ReplyDeleteI have missed so many recipes during my break! I remember seeing these on the schedule and thought I'd like to give them a go one day. Glad to read your thoughts, very helpful!
