Receta Baby Red Peppers Stuffed with Mozzarella & Marinated Olives
I visited London in 2011 & was there for around two months. I had a little time to see the city ,tightly packed weekdays & only few weekends.So I planned to explore the city as much as possible on weekends.All day outing, exploring cities attractions, eating out, roaming and much more..It reminds me of a fantastic meal ,I had in Jamie Oliver’s restaurant in Covent garden, Ohh !! such a lovely place, so lively and full of fun :)
Few days back, created this very simple yet classic dish which oozes out tangy & smoky flavors with every bite, inspired from Jamie’s Italian .
