What is Pepper stuffed with olives?
Pepper stuffed with olives is a simple stuffed-pepper dish built around the briny, savoury flavour of olives. Stuffed vegetables are familiar across Turkish home cooking, and this variation makes the olive filling the main event rather than relying on a grain-based stuffing. The pepper softens as it cooks while the olives keep a pleasantly substantial bite. In Turkey, it fits naturally on a meze table, served cool or at room temperature; elsewhere, it also works as a starter or a light lunch with salad and bread. It offers fibre from the pepper and most of its fat from the olives. For a lighter plate, serve it with fresh greens and go easy on added oil and salt.
