Overview
Friggitello is the Italian heirloom frying pepper, also called Napoleatano, that goes into the classic Neapolitan dish of blistered peppers. Plants are tall, 3 to 4 feet, and set tapered, thin-skinned light green fruit 3 to 5 inches long and about an inch wide. It is sweet, not hot. Pick the pods green and small, fry them whole in olive oil with salt, and pick often to keep the plants producing. Tall plants benefit from a stake.
