Chile and Pancetta Stuffed Peppers


I thought I would try something differet with chile peppers. So I made chile and pancetta stuffed peppers.
Ingredients
2 bell peppers halved and cleaned
2 jalapeno peppers sliced thin
1 cayenne pepper sliced thin
1 hungarian wax pepper sliced thin
12 cherry or grape tomatos halved
2 cloves of garlic sliced thin
1 tbs of drained and rinsed capers
1/4 cup of fresh basil
a dozen olives green or black
2 tbs red wine vinegar
1/4 cup of olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup pancetta
In a medium size bowl add all of the ingredients but the bell peppers and pancetta. Mix well squishing it with your hands. Preheat your oven to 350. Place the bell peppers in a baking dish. Fill the bell peppers with your filling. Top with the pancetta. drizzle a little olive oil over the peppers. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the aluminum foil and continue to bake until the bell peppers start to char.
Serve over toast with some mozarella cheese, olive oil and a few slices of fresh chile.
