My neighbor gave me a bottle of Olive Oil, Basil and Garlic tomato sauce. I have some bell peppers and ground pork. So I decided to make this.

Steps

1

Cut bell peppers into half, length wise. Remove seeds. Mince onion. For carrot, I used a peeler to peel for thin strips and then mince them. I found it easier than to do It with a knife.
2

In a mixing bowl, put pork, half of minced onion, half of minced garlic, breadcrumbs, nuts, egg and some salt (about 1/2 TBS and a pinch) and pepper for seasonings. Mix well.
3

Sprinkle some flour inside the peppers. Stuff peppers with ground pork.
4

Brown peppers upside down first in a frying pan with some olive oil on medium high for 2 minutes. Then, turn them over and brown the bottom also for 2 minutes. Remove peppers from pan.
5

Turn down heat to medium low, add a little more of olive oil, put in the rest of minced onion and garlic. Cook until onion is translucent, pour the sauce in and stir for few seconds to mix the onion and garlic well with sauce. Arrange the bell peppers into the pan. Pour some sauce over the peppers. (Repeat this step few more times during the simmering). Cover lid and simmer for 30 minutes.
