Bring to room temperature before continuing.) Drain peppers, reserving marinade. Combine tuna, chopped parsley and capers in another bowl, breaking up tuna with a fork. Mix in enough reserved marinade to season to taste. Season with salt and pepper. Place 1 tablespoon tuna mixture on inside of each piece of pepper at one end. Roll up. Arrange seam side down on serving platter. Pour remaining marinade over rolls. (Can be prepared 6 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.) Garnish with parsley sprigs and olives before serving.
