Stuffed Peppers with Stale Bread & Vegetables

Hello everyone from the first day of the week,

It's coming, we're already halfway through the month of Ramadan :) The days pass so quickly that I'm surprised.

The smell of pita and bread emanating from the ovens towards iftar doubles our appetite, maybe that's why we sometimes buy more bread and pita than we can consume. These also get stale very quickly and are mostly inedible again the next day, as we are under the influence of those fragrant scents. Thus, it is wasted.

Previously, I had prepared different recipes to evaluate stale bread and pita breads. Some of those bread pizza, bread dessert ve ravioli...

My new recipe is quite different from the others, this time we make use of stale bread or pita by making stuffing :) The taste of stale bread sautéed with vegetables is so good that you wouldn't believe it :)

Of course, as always, you can use different vegetables and cheeses at home in this recipe. I think Parmesan and old cheddar will look great too.

Love…
