Stuffed Peppers with a Pea and Mint Dip
35—45 Min
Stuffed peppers are a staple dish in Austro-Hungarian cuisine. Although the pointed peppers are normally filled with ground meat, this delicious alternative is completely vegetarian, as they are stuffed with spiced couscous, olives and feta. And to round it all off, we have added a fresh pea and mint dip.
