Reviews
Antonina: I love to cook. Once, I decided to cook stuffed peppers, but they did not work out and everything fell apart. It turns out that I just chose the wrong variety. Such a trifle, but it was worth the raw materials thrown out by the hens. Now I’ve taken into account all the mistakes and choose for this dish, especially Topolin, Atlant, and Golden Rain that I liked. Never failed. I can safely recommend to all lovers of stuffed peppers.
Konstantin: I work as a chef in a restaurant. Often you have to stuff peppers. Like no one else, I know that not all varieties are suitable for stuffing. Thick-walled are best suited for this. If the dish is immediately served on the table, use a rounded shape, if for conservation - oblong. For stuffing I use the Golden Miracle. Our visitors really like it!
Tamara: My daughter brought a preservation of pepper with the addition of minced meat and vegetables, which we really loved.Opened for Christmas and only secured his love for him. We use for this “Bogatyr” and “Red Shovel”. They are oblong, so it is better to put them in a jar. Try it and you! Such peppers are sure to find their lover. Even my brother-in-law, who does not like peppers in any way, appreciated them.
