Tuna Stuffed Cherry Peppers (New Year's Eve)

Directions

Pick 24 whole peppers.

Discard the pepper stems.

Scoop out the seeds with a measuring teaspoon or a coffee spoon.

Rinse the peppers under running cold water to remove the seeds completely, and set in a colander to drain.

Mix together tuna, lemon juice, oil, capers and anchovies (if using) in a medium bowl until well combined.

Fill each pepper with about 1 teaspoon of the tuna mixture and arrange them on a serving plate.

Sprinkle some black pepper over the stuffed peppers.

Bring vinegar to a boil in a very small saucepan and simmer until syrupy and reduced to about 2 teaspoons, about 3 minutes.

Drizzle the syrup over the peppers.

Serve.
