Polenta Stuffed Sweet Bell Peppers

Features:
    Cuisine:

    This one moved to the "keeper" list. I skipped the basil (basil and cumin didn't sound like a combo to me), and didn't have any parmesan. Actually, next time I plan to go with a cheddar type cheese instead of the mozzarella. But there will be a next time!

    Well, my second try didn't use cheddar, but was even better than last time. I skipped the cumin; and used some provolone that I needed to finish up instead of the mozzarella.

    I think the key here is to not mix the "Mexican" and "Italian" flavors. If you use mozzarella and parmesan, leave out the cumin. If you prefer the cumin flavor, use cheddar, pepperjack, or something similar; and skip the basil and parm.
