Splendid inspiration

One of my favorite segments on each week's "The Splendid Table" is when a caller describes the con- tents of his or her fridge and Lynne comes up with a great recipe idea to blend everything together. I must have been channeling her today.

The flash hit, and I went to the market for peppers. They were out of regular green bells, but the Cubanitos looked wonderful.

And tasted even better, stuffed with leftovers (chicken parmesan, crumbled hot Italian sausage and provolone, all ground together) and roasted on a bed of leftover rice mixed with leftover pasta sauce, studded with capers.
