What it is
Bell peppers traditionally stuffed with a meat and rice mixture, then simmered in a tomato sauce. This dish requires significant modification to remove the rice and ensure a low-carb sauce, but the core flavors are excellent for keto.
Key ingredients
Bell peppers, ground pork/beef mixture, onions, eggs, salt, pepper. Tomato sauce (tomatoes, broth, spices, potentially flour/sugar).
If you order it anyway
Crucially, request the filling to be prepared WITHOUT rice or breadcrumbs. Confirm the tomato sauce is not sweetened and is not thickened with flour/starch or only minimally. Omit any side dishes like mashed potatoes or bread. Request extra green peppers if possible.
