What ingredients do I need to make the stuffed peppers low carb?
With a classic Low carb recipe there would be one thing above all: a large amount of Minced meat. But because I myself have been no meat eat more and only a few days ago I heard about another meat antibiotics scandal, I just say: Eat more vegetables and as little meat as possible.☝🏼
That's why our low carb recipes are all Without meat. I had to work really hard to come up with a good recipe for low carb and vegetarian stuffed peppers.
But it was worth it. It tastes really mega delicious - even on hot days.

Cottage Cheese
Our meat substitute is cottage cheese. Cottage cheese contains a Large quantity to Protein, which makes it extremely exciting for low-carb cooking.
But anyone who has ever been on a diet will also be very familiar with cottage cheese. With only 90 calories per 100 grams contains half the calories of minced meat.💪🏼
He is also a true Protein bomb. The protein keeps us full for a long time and also helps to build muscle. You can use flavored cottage cheese - it is available with herbs, garlic, olives, chili and much more.
Feta
Feta is a treat for the palate. Its strong, salty and tangy taste goes perfectly with the mild cottage cheese. Also with the vegetables in the pods and the tomato sauce harmonizes he wonderful.😋
Feta contains 100 gram just 0.7 g carbohydratesbut 15 g egg white - a real protein bomb. By the way, my personal favorite is this delicious Vegetable pan with fried egg and feta.

A classic that I can't do without are Zucchini. They are filling, have hardly any calories and consist mainly of water. But they also contain calcium, magnesium, iron, B vitamins and vitamins C and A.
And then of course the Tomato not to forget. I use fresh tomatoes in summer because they taste much more aromatic. In winter and spring, I use canned tomatoes. But make sure that they are pure tomatoes without additives such as sugar, flavor enhancers or the like.☝🏼
At Lose cheeks Tomatoes and zucchinis a lot Water. This makes the vegetarian stuffed peppers juicy. However, to prevent it from becoming watery, leave the vegetable juice in the Pan a little fry, the water evaporates.
Those who wish can also enjoy a little Carrot into the filling - but be careful, not too much. Root vegetables contain a lot of carbohydrates. The following applies to carrots: Cut them small. Otherwise the pieces will remain hard. The smaller the better.🥕
But also Mushrooms are very good in the filling.

What is the best way to cut the peppers: lengthwise or crosswise?
There are two major schools of thought when it comes to stuffed low carb peppers. The one halve the peppers of the Length the others cut the Cover and then fill the pods.
However, there is no True or false.
If you cut the peppers crosswise, you will have more space in the baking dish. You can then frequently 3-4 pods while just 2 peppers will fit into the same shape in the longitudinal cut 🫑
For fillings that are slightly longer it is better if you opt for the "with lid" version. Like this dries the filling namely not so strongly.
For fillings that are actually only warmed up and with Cheese au gratin If the peppers need to be dried, you can also lengthwise halve.
If you want your stuffed peppers to be low carb and vegetarian, you can opt for either version.
