Welcome to my cauliflower rice stuffed peppers budget recipe.
I will start by saying that even though this is really healthy; I never set out for it to be. It is just a quick creation in the kitchen that I made for lunch one day, I loved it so much that I made it the next day, the next and the one after that too.
If you’re looking for a stuffed peppers recipe that is also low carb then this is your recipe of your dreams.
Normally when I have stuffed peppers there will either be pasta, rice or couscous involved so this is something really special to get your teeth into.
I start this stuffed peppers recipe by pre-cooking the different coloured peppers and then while they are cooking I will make the cauliflower rice.
Originally the plan was for this to be a frugal meal, but I always find that I over cater on the cauliflower rice and end up with a dishful like this leftover after I have finished filling up the peppers:
But there is nothing wrong with this as you could save some cauliflower rice for another day and then use it up on a completely different recipe.
Think of cauliflower rice like you do traditional rice. If you took some spare white rice I bet you could think of 20 dishes (straight away) that it would fit in well with.
Though why is it I am thinking about a curry right now?
You’ll also see from the recipe that I am addicted to colour, hence one of each peppers. But the other reason for this is that I like the different flavours that you get from the different peppers.
I love how sweet the yellow one is and how perfect green peppers are for a simple taste.
