Stuffed red peppers are a flavorful and nutritious dish often associated with Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Latin American cuisines. The dish typically features red bell peppers hollowed out and filled with a mixture of ingredients like rice, ground meat, beans, vegetables, herbs, and spices. Variations may include cheese or tomato sauce for added richness. Red bell peppers are a nutrient-dense base, rich in vitamins A and C, antioxidants, and dietary fiber. The fillings can be customized to enhance the health profile, using lean proteins and whole grains while reducing saturated fats and sodium. Though often baked, stuffed peppers can also be prepared in a slow cooker for added convenience. Some recipes may be higher in calories or fat depending on ingredients like cheese or fatty meats, but lighter, plant-forward options are readily available for more health-conscious variations. This versatile dish offers a hearty, wholesome, and satisfying meal.
