Stuffed Peppers

[jostar]

Can anyone give me a recipe (preferably low-fat) for stuffed peppers. And also, what would you serve with them

I often make up some couscous or rice and stuff the peppers with that and some cooked mushroom and courgettes and serve with a nice salad.

You could also stuff them with some low fat mince and mushroom and courgette. Could be served with some fresh pasta.

Tomatoes, garlic, anchovies. Touch of olive oil. Scrummy!
