cubanelle

Mild Italian pepper

A cubanelle is a mild, sweet pepper with thin walls and a slightly wrinkled skin, typically light green to yellow.

Popular in Italian and Latin American cooking, cubanelles are often fried or stuffed: I sautéed cubanelles with onions and garlic.

They're sometimes called Italian frying peppers.
