Recipe and Quote of the Day!

I like to use my crock pot to make dishes from time to time. Because I'm usually at the gym in the evenings throwing some stuff into the crock pot helps so I don't have to come home at start making dinner after 9:30pm. This is a recipe from Mark's Daily Apple. I've made this a few times and love it. As someone who likes to cook and familiar with spices etc., I always add my own seasonings to make it my own, you should do the same.

Pork Stuffed Peppers

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds ground pork (or a combination of pork and beef)
• 4 large green peppers
• 1 large onion
• 2 carrots
• 4 cloves of garlic
• 1/2 head of cauliflower
• 6 ounce can of tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon dry oregano
• 1 tablespoon dry or fresh tarragon
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Cut the tops of the peppers and clean the seeds out.

Arrange peppers in the Crock-Pot standing up and make sure they fit securely.

Grate onion, carrots, garlic and cauliflower in the food processor. You can also just chop them into small pieces with a knife if you don’t have a food processor.

In a big bowl, combine ground pork, shredded vegetables, seasonings and tomato paste.

Add salt and pepper to taste. Stuff the peppers with the mixture and arrange leftover meat between the peppers. Add half a cup of water, cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours.

If you don’t have a slow-cooker, the dish can be cooked in the oven, covered, for 1-2 hours.
