Surprises are delightful, and nature is always full of them, even in unexpected places like the inside of a sweet green pepper. Upon removing the top of this pepper I found an intriguing six point star that resembled the form of a snowflake. In fact all the peppers pictured below were quite beautiful, even before cutting. The lovely green color and smooth blemish-free surfaces just begged for an artful arrangement.
When I finished playing with my peppery still-life compositions, it was time to blanch and fill them with a Hungarian-inspired mixture of cooked ground beef, rice, and spices, top with a seasoned tomato sauce, and then bake in the oven. Mozzarella cheese was sprinkled over each pepper ten minutes before baking was finished. The stuffed peppers were so large and filling, that little else besides a loaf of warm crusty bread was needed to complete the meal.
