Delicious! A KEEPER! Good cold, room temp or hot. I used halved long sweet banana peppers, enough to fit in a 13 x 9 pan. Left out the pine nuts. Added 1/2 lb. of hot Italian sausage to the leftovers; that was terrific. I will do that next time at the start. As others did, I also cooked longer to soften the peppers. This would also be a good pasta sauce as well as a side dish. Or, meatless, a a starter. And it looks really appetizing. Geema, many thanks for this versatile recipe . . . Janet

My guests really loved this as a side dish. Easy to make and pop in the oven. I used dried parsley instead of fresh, and put the pine nuts in the food processor before adding to the mix. I don't think they add much to the dish, I will leave them out next time. I also cooked longer than indicated so that the peppers were super soft.

I am basing this review on the mixture combo because I could eat that with a spoon! Absolutely delicious!!! I did top some little Italian breadcrusts with the mixture and enjoyed that completely. However I took it upon myself to add some cooked ground turkey breast to the final mix in order to make it a main course. I would have enjoyed the finished product much more without it. Great presentation! Thanks Geema!!!
