CAPSICUM 17 



CAPSICUMS " FARCITI." No. 2 



Fry six medium-sized green sweet Capsicums for one 

 minute in boiling fat, drain, peel, and cut off the ends, 

 keeping them to use as covers. Remove the insides, 

 and fill them with forcemeat made of minced fresh 

 pork, a spoonful of salt, a salt-spoonful of pepper, half 

 a salt-spoonful of grated nutmeg, and the same of 

 powdered thyme. Put on the ends, lay the Capsicums 

 in a well-oiled baking-dish, add a little pure olive oil, 

 and put them in a moderate oven to bake for a quarter 

 of an hour. Turn them on to a hot dish, and serve 

 with a quarter of a pint of Vellutata sauce with a little 

 Marsala added. 



CAPSICUMS " AL FORNO" 



Cut two or more green Capsicums in two lengthwise, 

 remove the seeds and filaments, and parboil them in 

 boiling water for five minutes. Fill each half with an 

 equal quantity of softened bread-crumb and minced 

 meat, seasoned with butter, salt, and a squeeze of lemon. 

 Then put them into a baking-dish in half an inch of 

 good stock (or water), and bake. Serve in the baking- 

 dish hot.
