This recipe originated with the desire to use left over ingredients from a big Santa Maria BBQ (80 people). One left over was four fresh red bell peppers, another a jar of pesto sauce and the third was a full container of crumbled feta cheese. Read more After perusing a bunch of stuffed bell pepper recipes on GroupRecipes i came up with this The Zartrain's was purchased for the dish. The others were on hand. It passed the wife taste test with flying colors in spite of being such a mixed metaphor. One red pepper apiece is fine if you have side dishes or a bit salad. Two was all my wife and i could eat.
