As not a big fan of ground poultry of any kind, I was pleasantly surprised by the flavors and textures of this recipe. A side of rice pilaf would have been a good match for the flavors, but did not think of it until too late. I followed this recipe to the tee, except I needed to add about 2/3 cup of water since there was no liquid for it to simmer in, or evaporate, after adding the canned tomatoes. I micro waved the yellow peppers a bit longer than stated, just to get them tender, but I am sure that is just the normal microwave variance,,, I would like to attempt the “reverse” of this recipe sometime: I would use ground beef, with some red bell pepper chopped up in the mixture, and green peppers for the “shells”. I would possibly add some chili powder or cumin to this mix. If I get around to it, I will write up a full recipe with these changes. Overall, a great, out of the ordinary meal!
