Yesterday, when I compiled my Rosh Hashanah Menu, I promised y’all that I would give out the recipe for my Stuffed Peppers today, and here they are. I’m glad I made that promise, since it “forced” me to make these gluten free, grain free stuffed peppers for dinner last night, and my husband and I love them. They’re quite colorful and festive, as you can see in the photo above, and mighty tasty, not to mention high protein.
The idea for stuffing peppers with my version of Mark Sisson’s Green Chili Burgers is not my own. The notion was brought to us by Melisa from driventhinking.blogspot.com in her comment:
Since my husband thinks he has to have some sort of “starch” with dinner, I would probably serve a few slices of the Simple Bread or homemade sweet potato fries..YUM! And of course, avocado. Or…I’d skip making patties and stuff all the ingredients into a red bell pepper and bake. Thanks for the awesome recipe, Elana!
Thanks Melisa!

I’ll be serving this dish along with Cauli Rice tomorrow. That’s another recipe I’ll be posting soon. Most likely (a scheduled post as I’ll be in synagogue) this Friday.

I love stuffed peppers, well, stuffed vegetables of any sort really! The cilantro/cumin/chili powder mixture sounds like a great seasoning for a dish of this sort.

This definitely sounds like a winner to me! (I just made stuffed peppers a few days ago too, must be the season for them.)

Happy New Year! I just picked up some giant peppers from the farmer’s market that are begging to be stuffed. Thanks for the inspiration – I will be experimenting in my kitchen over the next couple of days.

We just recently had stuffed peppers, but these look far superior.
