I found these cute little peppers and had to create a recipe around them, this is what I came up with. This is a low carb version of stuffed manicotti.

I have been eyeing those little peppers in the produce section and now I know just what to do with them! We love this recipe and look forward to preparing it again. Next time we may try par-boiling the peppers as well. Test Kitchen Avatar The Test Kitchen
