Wow, what a great recipe! You're definitely right about vegetarians loving it and I think meat eaters would enjoy it as well. The lemon and mint add a nice flavour that I wouldn't have normally included in stuffed peppers. They were super easy to make as well and very colourful. Many, many thanks for this recipe. It's a keeper!
