Neapolitan peppers are a true symbol of the culinary tradition of Naples, known for their sweet and rich flavor, as well as for their characteristic bright color, ranging from bright red to golden yellow. Used in numerous typical recipes, these peppers are not just a side dish, but a key ingredient in iconic dishes.
One of the most beloved preparations is the "Neapolitan pepper stew", a simple and flavorful dish made with sautéed peppers, garlic, tomato, and sometimes olives and capers, which captures all the aromas of the Mediterranean summer. Peppers are often roasted or sautéed, developing a natural sweetness that pairs perfectly with fresh or aged cheeses, fish, and meat.
