Expert Tips

Pepperoncini peppers, also called Tuscan peppers, are a variety of chile pepper with a slightly sweet and spicy-hot flavor. They are most often sold pickled and are used in many antipasto dishes.
Look for pitted green olives at the olive bar in the supermarket or in jars in the olive aisle.
