Curiosities

It is one of the most typical, most popular and also one of the most welcome dishes of our cuisine, like chicken cacciatore.

It is simple to prepare and does not create complications with the seasons: the rabbits in the farmhouse are always there; the peppers are easy to find ripe and splendid over a fairly long period of the year.

Fresh peppers can then be substituted, when appropriate, with peppers preserved in marc and vinegar, pouvron smojà; the overall flavor does not change much and the freshness of the dish can be said to be intact.
