  1. I've cooked Bell Peppers in the crockpot before and have always burned the bottoms and sides. Thanks for giving me a solution to at least half that problem! Put the tops of the pepper in the bottom of the pot and the stuffed peppers on top of the tops! Thanks!
     
  2. We loved this! The only change I made was using chicken broth and skipping the cumin -- served with green beans for a great middle-of-the-week supper. Thanks for sharing!
     
  3. Being that Easter is around the corner, local grocers are carrying ground lamb; I had never worked with it, so I decided to try it and use this recipe. My SO gave it the thumbs up, but I wasn't too impressed. This was my first endeavor in stuffed peppers as well as ground lamb and I could really take it or leave it. We both agreed that the sauce was really good. Thanks for sharing, I'm sure we will be making it again.
     
  4. I cannot believe this!!!! These are "right from the oven" tasty and the ease from "made in a crockpot" Noone would know unless you told them. The trick to putting the tops under was perfecto! No burns and no mush.Not only did my house smell fantastic but the blend of flavors and the way all the juices were incorporated was phenomenal! Bergy, you have a hit at my house and the only way I will make stuffed lamb peppers from now on in a crock. This rivals my mother and yiaYia's for flavor but the ease was the topper. This is saved permanently. Thank you.
     
  5. An oh-so-easy and totally delicious crockpot meal which I'll be making again and again during the winter months. I used red peppers (a personal taste preference) and homemade chicken stock (slightly less than the cup of stock, so that I could include a couple of tablespoons of white wine) and I added 6 cloves of minced garlic to the chopped onions, but I otherwise followed the recipe. Since I find that tomato paste can disagree with me, I used an Australian bush tomato spice in place of the tomato paste (this has become a regular substitution for me) as it is very flavoursome and has nothing of the sharpness of tomato paste. I also doubled the cumin, as we love cumin. These peppers smelt so wonderful all the time that they were cooking. Just an added bonus! They were so superbly flavorsome and the sauce was delicious: an absolute joy to eat! I'll be making them again soon, and I’m really looking forward to trying them next time with chicken mince. Thanks Bergy for a super recipe, and that nifty trick for successfully cooking stuffed peppers in the crockpot! This is my last Pick a Chef 2006 recipe to be made. And I'm just SO glad that I selected this one!

  1. I had reviewed this recipe when it was first published, and yesterday I decided to make it again using chicken instead of lamb, and I found my review was not published .. this is an outstanding recipe that is simple to put together and very tasty! I made the original, and I also tried it using chicken instead of lamb, and chicken stock .. it was excellent! thanks

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.
