Spiral Stuff Sweet Peppers - Vegetarian

Stuffed Peppers are one of my favorite. Whenever I, see the lushes light greens smileling at me in the market, just can't stop myself from picking few of them. When I,  severed these,  they were really surprised when they took a bite and ate the awesome stuffed peppers. Crisp from outside, soft and yummy from inside, not at all pungent. These are mind blowing. Try them.....
