  • I was always a little wary of vegetarian food until I tried cabbage-stuffed bell peppers at the home of friends who'd given up their usual diet a few years back. The lady of the house happily shared her signature recipe, and my own family rated these peppers a solid five out of five. Here's how I make them: wash the bell peppers and remove the cores and seeds. Shred the cabbage thinly. Wash, peel, and grate the carrots. Mince the garlic — a garlic press comes in handy when you're working with a big batch. Combine the carrots, garlic, and cabbage and mix well. Stuff the prepared peppers with the mixture, then blanch them for 10 minutes. For the brine, add sugar and salt to boiling water, then stir in the vegetable oil, vinegar, and bay leaf. Pack the stuffed peppers into jars, pour the brine over them, seal with lids, and let cool. I like to make this at night so the peppers can steep in the brine overnight and taste even better by morning. When I put up a really big batch, I sterilize the jars for 35–40 minutes so they keep longer.
