Tips from the author

Marinated and baked peppers tastes great even without tuna cream – you can serve it as a side dish for lunch or at a barbecue.

Sweet pointed peppers are great for grilling on the BBQ during summer. Use skewers or a grill basket to prevent small chunks of vegetables from falling through the grate. Remember to soak bamboo skewers for 30 or more minutes before using to prevent them from burning.
