Grannymar,
This sounds deliciously yummy but…
I don’t like being told to “get stuffed”

Ooh I’d forgotten about stuffing capsicum! Can I dispense with the sultanas, eating them is like nails on a blackboard . . .the rest sounds pretty yum and no carbs! Yay!

One of my favorite meals to make. I never used Sultana’s though. The almonds are a nice touch.

Chop the stalk end off and then use it as a cap…do you have a vegan version?
I’ll explain why some time later.
BTW I love the almonds idea….

PS chopped mushrooms and minced eggplant can be be used in the veggie version.

@Baino - I have several recipes for stuffed peppers…. I might come back to them again.
@Darlene - I love a dish that I can prepare and stick in the oven, giving me time to clear up before I sit down to eat.
@Magpie - I am sure I have a vegan version somewhere, I must look it up.
@WWW - Thanks for the idea.
