Rice stuffed capsicum
My husband usually comes for the lunch. When I opened the refrigerator I found nothing except for the bell peppers and tomatoes. I was wondering what to make and I thought I could try something different which is very simple too. I tried this rice stuffed inside the capsicum and it came out very well. The tomato and mint flavored rice along with capsicum gives an awesome taste 🙂
