Stuffed Red Peppers
Hopefully winter is leaving; at least we have some warmer weather mixed in with the cold. Last weekend, when deciding what to cook for a dinner party, my wife told me she would like to have roasted, stuffed red peppers and maybe a pork roast to go along. Since the weather was cooler it turned out to be a good idea; hopefully a great send-off to this winter season.
When I think of stuffed peppers I think of ground beef and rice stuffed “nothings”, can you tell I am not a fan. Well I have been making this recipe for many years now and they always are the hit of the meal. NO ground beef here, just caramelized onions, garlic and tomatoes, slow-roasted in the oven. Great tasting and great looking, these will add a pleasant surprise to any meal.
