  5. Onions
  6. Italian Seasoning Blend (see Recipe)
  7. Tomato Sauce (see Recipe)

Stuffing

  7. Let cook for 1-3 minutes until tender but not soggy.
Peppers
  1. Cut off tops of bell peppers and remove seeds.
  2. Fill bell peppers with stuffing.
  3. Top with a little bit of tomato sauce.
  4. You can also top with parmesan Cheese.
  5. Place in baking dish with a tiny bit of water in the bottom.
  6. Bake at 350 degrees until Bell Peppers are tender and top is lightly browned.
  7. Serve Hot.
Cabbage Roll Variation
  1. You can use this same recipe to make Cabbage Rolls instead of using Bell Peppers. Just don't put water in the bottom of the pan and make sure to cover with Tomato Sauce.
Notes
  1. You can add parmesan cheese into the mixture before stuffing if you would like.
  2. You can use ground nuts on top in place of Parmesan Cheese.
  3. You do not have to top it with tomato sauce if you don't have any.
  4. If you want to use grains instead of Cauliflower, try using Quinoa. It works really well with this recipe.
