Stuffed Peppers - Venezio Style!!

As most of you know, my father is a phenominal chef! He's had no lessons, just an Italian mother who nailed good cooking into his brain :)

Most Sunday's Matt and I head over here for a delicious dinner. This evening we got one of my personal favorites, Peperoni Imbotiti Ai Risotto - Risotto stuffed peppers!

6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
6 large red and yellow bell peppers
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 cup risotto
1/2 cup green olives, pitted
1/2 cup black olives, pitted
4 tablespoons capers (optional) rinsed
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 bunch Italian parsley, finely chopped to yield 1/4 cup
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 cup progresso bread crumbs

First chop off tops of peppers, saving top and scooping out seeds and veins.

Then cook Risotto. If your not familiar there is a recipe here http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Gourmet-Mushroom-Risotto/Detail.aspx. Delete the mushrooms. And remember... always stir!

Mix capers, and both types of olives in the risotto, constantly.

Let the rice, olive mixture cool. When cool, place in peppers.
