stuffed-peppers-300x200Lou’s Tip: Never throw away the top of the bell pepper! After you slice off the top the stem pops out and you will have more to use!

Benefits: This is a great recipe for feeding a crowd! It’s easy to make, easy to serve, and easy to clean up. Just put the collard greens (or romaine leaves) on a plate, put the pate and salsa in bowls with serving spoons, and have plates and napkins handy. It’s nice to serve some juicy fruit as dessert.Handling the Peppers:
