--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  4                     bell peppers -- several colors
     1/2           cup  pitted black olives sweet unspicy variety -- minced
     3/4         pound  fresh ricotta
     1/4         pound  bacon -- sliced
                        leaves of several sprigs of marjoram
                        olive oil
                        salt and pepper.
                        wooden tooth picks
 

Preparation:

Quarter the peppers, discarding the seeds, and broil the resulting strips skin-side up to loosen the skins, then scrape the skins off. Preheat the oven to 450F. Combine the ricotta, minced olives and marjoram leaves in a bowl, seasoning the mixture with salt and pepper, and adding just enough olive oil to make it creamy. Spread some of the mixture over each of the pepper strips. Roll up the pepper strips, wrap each with a slice of bacon (half a slice will probably do), and stick them with tooth picks to hold them together. Put them in a lightly oiled pan and bake them until the bacon is crispy and done, about a half hour.
