stem, leaving the pepper in a cuplike form. Set aside. Heat One half tsp. oil

room temperature. Divide cabbage mixture into eight equal parts. Stuff the
bell pepper halves with the mixture. Clean the fry pan and heat the
remaining 1One half tsp. oil over medium heat. Place the stuffed bell peppers
in the hot oil with the stuffed side f! ! ! acing up. Reduce heat, cover
with a lid and simmer for 1012 minutes until the bell peppers become
tender. The bottom of the bell peppers will be slightly black. Transfer the
