SCD Recipe: Italian Stuffed Pepper Rings

Written by Published on in SCD Main Dishes, SCD Recipe

I’m a huge fan of stuffed peppers, but sometimes I feel like I get a ton of the meat filling and not a lot of pepper. Cutting the pepper into rings solves this problem.

For SCD – these use tomato paste and I used Pomi tomatoes for the sauce – but you can easily sub fresh tomatoes if you like.

Paleo and 21 Day Sugar Detox – works perfectly!
