Dee-lish! This was such a quick to make recipe. It was like having a wonderful stir-fry in a sweet pepper cup! The taste is wonderful! I liked the addition of the pine nuts. It was a nice change from the traditional ground beef stuffed peppers. The chicken and rice made for a great taste, when combined with the spices and the red pepper. Serving this was sooo pleasing to the eye...great presentation! Plus..it was made in a crockpot...what could be easier for busy cooks? -
These peppers were wonderfull!! and so easy. I followed the receipe to a tee because of the contest and was very pleased with the results. We particularly enjoyed the corn with the rice and pine nuts with the chicken, a nice change from the usual grouond beef. Nice combination, and the spices finished it nicely. We used the whole teaspoon of hot chili flakes, they gave it a nice bite with the cumin. I made it last night and DH turned them on this afternoon, how nice to come home to!! 5 hours was perfect, except DH accidently had it on high for the first hour, in any case they turned out perfect and looked so pretty, served with a spinach salad and a dinner roll. The only strange thing about it was that I had a lot of stuffing left over, maybe my peppers were smaller, but that was ok, it made a great lunch heated in the microwave. Thanks for sharing, I will be making these again. -
Great recipe. I deviated a little by using chopped hazelnuts and wild rice. I also had a lot of stuffing left over, even though I filled 5 peppers. Next time I'll cook for 4 hours--2 of the peppers fell apart well I removed them from the crock! Very tasty nonetheless!

This was yummy! I was on the lazy side and used the microwave Uncle Ben's garlic brown rice in a pouch with the rest of the stuffing and it came out fabulous. Definitely a keeper in my house! <br/>Thank you for this awesome recipe!

On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine.
I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help.
My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods.
I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England!
In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
Here are a few of my photos
