In Good Taste recipes this week – one side and one dessert – are not your usual Christmas fare and that’s a good thing. You can only eat so much vegetable rice, mashed potato and fruit cake. These take you a bit outside the box.
Potato-stuffed Peppers
Peppers, especially the mild and sweet ones are perfect vehicles for stuffing. Their various shapes, colours, and sizes make them appealing and pleasing to the eyes.
When peppers are stuffed, it is more about the stuffing rather than the taste of the peppers, and they can be stuffed with a lot of things – ground meat, seasoned rice, breadcrumbs, sausage meat, cheese, vegetables, seafood, the possibilities are many. Potatoes in some form always end up on the holiday table and this year, instead of being simply roasted, as a salad or stacked, how about creating garlicky, cheesy mashed potatoes and stuffing mild/sweet peppers?
