A Feast of Fridays: Spicy Stuffed Peppers

This is an awesomely good dish.  It’s so attractive, in fact, that it’s good for a company meal as well as for a family dinner.  It’s also a vegetarian dinner.

Ingredients:

3 green peppers

3 red peppers

3 yellow peppers

Texas Pepper Jelly, several different kinds

diced carrots

peas

diced apples

raisins

Pretty much any leftover vegetables from your ‘fridge

What to do:

Cut off the tops of the peppers and clean them out.  Keep the “caps.”

Mix together everything else and fill each pepper almost to the top.  Replace the “caps.”

I always make several different mixtures, using different kinds of pepper jelly.

Placed re-capped and filled peppers in a shallow baking dish and bake, uncovered, in a 350 oven for about 30 minutes.  Remove and check to make sure vegetables are done.  If they are, remove from oven and serve immediately.  If vegetables are not quite done, let the peppers bake for another ten minutes.

Pour some more pepper jelly on them and you’ve got a meal.  A nutritious, delicious meal.
