Chef FruGal's Kitchen, Ep. 6: Stuffed Bell Peppers

Chef FruGal's Kitchen, Ep. 7: Pastelón

So, I kept hearing about this fantastic spanish dish from a few of my friends, and finally decided to give it a go! Disclaimer: this is NOT a meal you make when you are pressed for time! It has a lot of steps, and requires a lot of patience and attention to detail. But I promise you, it is WELL worth the time and effort required! I adapted my own recipe from a recipe I found on pinterest. I will post the link at the end of this article for the original recipe. I used sofrito in place of the cilantro, onions, garlic and peppers the recipe calls for. Also, as an afterthought, I didn't particularly care for the taste the bay leaves gave the dish. Next time, I will leave them out, and you can too if you like. I hope you enjoy the video! Let me know if you decide to try out the recipe!
