Enough to help you "keep yo' man," according to country-rock sensation Hannah Dasher.
You know what they say -- the fastest way to anyone's heart is through their stomach. So when country-rock diva Hannah Dasher was writing her debut cookbook, the hilariously named Stand By Your Pan, she included a recipe that highlights food as an opportunity to make a nurturing, caring, and romantic gesture. Her "keep yo' man" stuffed peppers are so tasty and nutritious, your paramour won't stray from the kitchen table. And if you're trying to woo yourself (a.k.a. investing in your most important relationship), this colorful and protein-rich meal will remind you that your kitchen skills are more than enough to make dinner feel like an act of self-love.
Stand By Your Pan
To make the dish, you'll boil your peppers until they're "bendy," then whip up some white rice. Then, mix ground turkey (venison or ground beef will also work here), tomatoes, sautéed vegetables, your cooked rice, and cauliflower rice for an extra fiber boost. Gently stir in slightly salty, funky feta cheese and cilantro before stuffing your peppers with the filling. Bake them for just 20 minutes before serving.
The peppers also call for a Southwestern seasoning blend made with ingredients you already have in your pantry. But if you're low on time, Dasher says that a packet of taco seasoning is the perfect substitute. No matter your seasoning choice, one of these peppers will reinstate your belief in true culinary romance.
