Stuffed Romano Peppers
Food Is My Best Friend
Hello, lovelies I am back with another yummy recipe for you today. I made this so many times during the year with my friends and I have to say it’s really delicious and quick and easy to make as well. I get the inspiration for this from my mum, as a kid, she made me so many different variations of this dish.

Her favourite was made with the meat, of course, served with very rich tomato sauce. As a vegan, I used mushrooms and chickpeas to twist this classic dish into a light and summery version, and I guess you can really experiment with different variations of this recipe whenever you want to change up your lunch or dinners.

Also, you will only need a few ingredients and your meal will be ready. It’s so easy it’s especially good if you are busy but hungry 🙂
This recipe is for one portion but you can always make it for more.
And also you can choose which dips or sauce you can serve it with. I chose avocado and coconut yogurt.
Also, It’s easy and quick to make it like Mediterranean Stuffed Tomato with Courgette Ratatouille
I will appreciate your feedback on this dish
