Stuffed Yellow Peppers

Today I want to propose a recipe that is very easy to prepare per is very scenic at the time of serving. It is a yellow pepper stuffed with meat and vegetables.

This recipe is a true classic in my family since my grandmother used to prepare a very similar one for me when I was little; she used red peppers, tomatoes, cheese, and more ingredients. Inspired by the recipe of my grandmother, I have decided to create my lighter and healthier version of this delicious dish, I sincerely hope you like it.
