Peperone friariello, also known as peperoncini verdi, is the name of a small bright green pepper that grows in the Naples area in the spring and early summer.  (Don't confuse it with the similarly named, but not at all the same friarielli broccoli, a Neapolitan type of broccoli rabe, which is in season in the winter time and is eaten as a side dish or pizza topping.)  The peppers are long, cone shaped pods range from about 1 to 3-inches in length and typically are fried whole, seeds and all, until blistered and browned.  When fully ripe, they turn bright red and look like chili's, but they are mild and sweet.  You can eat the whole pepper in one or two bites.  I love their delicate flavor and find them much more appealing than green bell peppers.
