Bulgarian Stuffed Red Peppers With White Sauce

"This is another favorite Bulgarian Recipe of mine. The sweetness of the roasted red bell peppers and the tangy yogurt white sauce make such an excellent combination. Super easy to make and yet so delicious full with flavor and fragrance. You can also make this without the meat."

  1. This was pretty good but didn't taste exactly like the stuffed peppers I had in Bulgaria. Also, the water amount to add to the sauce is way too much - I only used 1/2 cup total. I had to repeat the sauce because I added too much water the first time.
