I've only ever made vegetarian stuffed peppers (made by a carnivore for a vegetarian) -- I can't wait to give Chris's carnivore oriented recipe a go, Adding meat to a vegetarian recipe can only enhance it :-)

Dzelde, this looks wonderful, and I would walk right past the other two dishes every time (sorry Ali and Kym). I reckon my Strog and tuna mornay recipes are better anyway, but haven't seen such an easy way to do the pepper and cabbage favourites before. Reminds me of the seventies when I used to call into Marcelinas or Pappa Guiseppe's for a post midnight snack after a night out. Yum!!
