The story:
I love veggie boats. Zucchini and peppers are my favorite. You can stuff lots of good things in that kind of vehicle and it will always taste good. It’s cheap, easy and fairly healthy. You can cook the peppers to whatever fineness you like. I prefer mine hot, and fairly firm. If you like them softer you can blanche them in advance, bake them with some water in the pan, or even microwave them for a few mins to pre-soften them.
