Greek-Style Stuffed Peppers

Greek-Style Stuffed Peppers

made with Arvinda's Greek Taverna

Satiating and stunningly beautiful on a plate, these Greek-style stuffed bell peppers can be made over and over again with a variation every time. Try with ground meat or veggie ‘ground round’ or swap bulgar for quinoa, wild rice, arborio rice – or any grain for that matter. We love this recipe with just one bite, we’re taken back to that charming little Creatan taverna by the Mediterranean sea so many years ago.
