Ardei umpluți (Romanian stuffed peppers)
Ardei umpluți (pronounced arday oom-ploots) are peppers stuffed with minced meat and spices. This recipe is adapted from one given to me by a Romanian friend. It will serve 2-4 people depending on how hungry you are and how big the peppers are. Red or orange peppers are best for this as they have a slightly sweet taste. Yellow peppers will also work, but green (unripe) peppers will end up very bitter after boiling.
