INGREDIENTS
-
6 large orange bell peppers
-
1 lb ground meat or finely chopped mushrooms (or veggies of choice)
-
1 tbsp Pisqueya Adobo
-
1 tbsp Pisqueya Sazón
-
1 tbsp olive or avocado oil
-
Pisqueya Oregano Sea Salt, to taste

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

METHOD
1. Carve your peppers. Preheat oven to 400°F. Wash and dry peppers, slice off the tops, and remove seeds. Carefully carve Jack-O'-Lantern faces into each pepper. Save the tops!
2. Prepare the filling. Season meat or veggies with Pisqueya Adobo and Sazón (ideally the day before). Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add meat or veggies and cook until the meat is browned or veggies are tender.
3. Bring on the sabor! Stir in Pisqueya Simmer Sauce and simmer for 5–8 minutes, until the filling is fully cooked. Season to taste with Pisqueya Oregano Sea Salt.
4. Stuff & bake. Place peppers in a baking dish. Spoon the filling into each pepper, replace the tops, and bake for 12–15 minutes, until peppers are slightly tender.
5. Serve & enjoy! Garnish with fresh cilantro and a drizzle of Pisqueya Caribbean Green Hot Sauce for an extra kick.
¡Buen provecho!
