Orzo is a barley-shaped pasta frequently used in recipes as a substitute for rice. Here it cooks in the stuffing mixture, saving the step of cooking the pasta separately.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I would have liked a bit more spice or herbs in the filling.

This was a great recipe! I've made it several times now and it's always a hit. The only thing I would change is to add a bit more seasoning to the filling.

The filling was tasty, but the peppers were a bit too soft for my liking. Overall, it was a good recipe, but I would roast the peppers for less time next time.

I tried this recipe last night and it was delicious! I made a few minor changes, like using brown rice instead of orzo, and it turned out great. Will definitely be making this again.
