Vegan Stuffed Peppers
Stuffed peppers have always been one of the meals I enjoyed eating ever since I was a kid. But the ones that my mother made had meat which I try to avoid as much as I can, especially red meats that have been completely eliminated from my diet years ago. I was searching for a good meat alternative for stuffed pepper and I found that beans and rice goes very good together.
These Vegan Stuffed peppers have been Darko’s and mine go to meal ever since then. They are satisfying, have a lot of proteins, tastes amazing, and are perfect meatless meal!
