Do not confuse peperone (bell pepper) with peperoncino (chilli). Peperoni ripieni (stuffed peppers) and peperonata (stewed peppers) are classic Italian side dishes.
I peperoni rossi sono più dolci di quelli verdi.
Red peppers are sweeter than green ones.
Arrosto i peperoni e li condisco con olio e aglio.
I roast the peppers and dress them with oil and garlic.
