BULGARIAN STUFFED RED PEPPERS WITH WHITE SAUCE

Bulgarian Stuffed Red Peppers With White Sauce image

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.
