Steemians, here is my entry to the Steemit Valentine Food Contest by @Mutitum

So here's my first recipe ever on Steemit. I used my phone to take the pictures; I know my camera would have done a better job.

Anyway, let's jump right to it. I like preparing this meal because it is easy to make and is also very nutritious.

Method

As the title says, we're preparing stuffed bell peppers. While you could stuff them with pretty much anything, I chose minced meat.

Cook it like you would do normally, adding all the ingredients you like. I added some mixed herbs to mine for more flavor, besides that from the garlic and ginger.

Boil your pepper for around 10 minutes then allow to cool.

As the peppers cool, preheat your oven for around 10 minutes, at around 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Stuff your minced meat stew into the pepper - it's best filled to the top.

To save energy and time, I put my irish potatoes into the oven together with the pepper. PS: I had already boiled the potatoes.

It will take around 30 minutes in the oven for the pepper to get cooked.

Salad

For my salad, I steamed beets, local spinach (mchicha), carrots, and onions. Just a few minutes does it. Alternatively, one could go ahead and use vinegar on the raw veggies. Be sure not to over steam, otherwise you lose all the nutrients.

Here's how everything turned out. I always have fun preparing and eating this, hope you do too.

Note:

I've used omelette as stuffing in the past and it turned out GREAT.
1 is so filling so have it with something light like a salad. However, there's too many other dishes you could use.
I suck at explanations but still.... 😎😎

Thanks @mutitum for creating the competition.

Light & Love!
