If you like contrasts, you’ll love the peppers stuffed with white tuna sent in to us by Isabel. Their crunchy cold stuffing and creamy hot sauce make a dish capable of surprising the most demanding palates. In addition, it’s an ideal dish to provide a meeting point between those who defend peppers stuffed with fish and those who prefer the pintxo of peppers stuffed with Russian salad.
Ingredients
- For the stuffed peppers
- Piquillo peppers – 16-20
- White Tuna in olive oil – 2 tins
- Capers
- Gherkins
- Mayonnaise – one glass
- For the sauce
- Piquillo peppers – 3
- Onion – one, small
