Spicy Stuffed Peppers | Slimming World Friendly Recipe

These vegetarian Slimming friendly spicy stuffed peppers are not only a great way to get in plenty of veggies (speed food) but they are quick, easy and absolutely delicious. This unofficial recipe is perfect for any one following Slimming World, Weight Watchers or a calorie controlled diet.

I think stuffed peppers get a bad rep as boring and uninspiring. When I mentioned creating them to Mr Fatgirlskinny he did his “face” which he always does when I mention a predomintantly vegetable based dish! But this recipe is a great way of hitting 3 goals for the day. Including some filling carbs, including a great portion of speed food and getting in one of your Healthy Extra A allowances. Oh I forgot to mention.. they are vegetarian too! 

If you are new to bell peppers and unsure of which colour to use let me try and offer some advice. All peppers start out as Green (which Mr Fatgirlskinny hates) but they change colour as they mature. If a pepper is not picked it can turn yellow, orange or red depending on the type of pepper. Basically the longer the pepper stays on the vine the sweeter it becomes. For a naturally sweet taste I would pick Orange or Red when creating your stuffed peppers.. but some people do prefer the more bitter taste of a Green.
