  • Prepare the Peppers Properly: Cut the tops off the peppers and remove the seeds and ribs. Rinse the peppers thoroughly and pat them dry.
  • Cook the Rice Perfectly: Use a high-quality long-grain rice for the stuffing. Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking to remove any starch. Cook the rice according to the package instructions.
  • Use Fresh Vegetables: Chop the broccoli, carrots, and onion into small pieces. Use fresh, crisp vegetables for the best flavor and texture.
  • Season the Stuffing Generously: Use a combination of herbs and spices to flavor the stuffing. Garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper are all good choices.
