### Step 5: Bake the Stuffed Peppers
Pour the tomato sauce into the bottom of the baking dish, surrounding the stuffed peppers with the sauce. This will keep the peppers moist as they cook and add extra flavor to the dish.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25-30 minutes. After this time, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese on top is golden and bubbly.
### Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Once the stuffed peppers are baked, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional fresh parsley and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese for added flavor.
Serve **Les Poivrons Farcis au Thon et Parmesan** with a side salad or some roasted vegetables for a complete meal. You can also pair it with a light vinaigrette dressing or a few slices of crusty bread.
## Tips for the Perfect Stuffed Peppers
* **Customize the Filling:** You can easily customize the tuna filling with your favorite ingredients. Add olives, capers, or even a handful of chopped sun-dried tomatoes for an extra Mediterranean twist.
* **Vegetarian Option:** If you’re not a fan of tuna or looking for a vegetarian alternative, you can substitute the tuna with a mixture of cooked quinoa, sautéed vegetables, or a combination of cheese and beans for a hearty filling.
* **Make Ahead:** Stuffed peppers can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to a day before baking. You can also freeze them after stuffing, then bake from frozen when ready to serve.
* **Adjust the Heat:** If you prefer a bit of heat, increase the chili flakes in the sauce or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the tuna filling.
* **Perfect for Leftovers:** If you have leftovers, stuffed peppers make a great lunch the next day. They reheat well in the microwave or can be baked in the oven until warmed through.
