You can stuff peppers with anything - it will get 5 stars in my book. Sounds great. I need to try it.


What a co-ink-eee-dink. I purchased a big bag of multi-colored peppers and have a few left... AND I was thinking I wanted to make stuffed peppers! This is a nice recipe :-) Do you think quinoa would work well instead of the rices? I have a box of it I have been using for the aztec soup...


Michael, the pix looks absolutely scrumptious! So often stuffed peppers (one of my very favorite dishes and a 'signature' dish in our family) seem to be so dry...but yours looks mouth-watering! I haven't tried Farro rice yet but saw Giada use it once on her show. Flagging your pix as beautiful!
