I have always been cooking stuffed peppers, usually with leftover vegetables and one of my favorite ingredients – a mince meat. Any type of meat is good, including a lamb mince, but for a leaner alternative I would go for a chicken mince (it is practically impossible to buy it ready minced in the UK, but you can always mince it at home) or a turkey mince, even 5% fat beef mince is great.

This time, though, I decided to make a vegetarian option. If I wasn’t on FODMAP diet, I would probably do peppers stuffed with mushrooms. But since most of the mushrooms are off the chart, I made these peppers stuffed with carrots, broccoli, yellow pepper, buckwheat and grated hard cheese on top.
