I made this recipe for part of my own private ZWT. I had high hopes for it, but it let me down. Some comments: There was not nearly enough filling for the 8 peppers. I had to make extra as I ran out. This definitely serves more than four people. The filling was bland. The recipe doesn't call for salt/pepper, which should be included at the very least. Also I would add more garlic. I think it would work better if there were only four peppers, cut lengthwise and filled on their sides. But the finished product was just missing something--not sure what.
