Stuffed peppers steamed
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Steamed dishes can be considered dietary, as their preparation requires not a drop of fat, and any excess fat from the ingredients drains into the tray. Moreover, there are no harmful burnt crusts. To keep the dish from being bland and boring, you can always prepare an interesting sauce and serve it separately. The finished dish can now be served at the table.
