VEGAN STUFFED PEPPERS WITH KIDNEY BEANS, SWEET CORN AND CASHEW

By

Vegan stuffed peppers with kidney beans, sweet corn, and cashew

So I made these. And they were awesome. And vegan. Like, really awesome and really vegan 🙆. I chose yellow bell peppers because of their sweetness, however, the red ones will work as well. I’m really into adding cashew to various recipes these days, and found this mix works like magic. They don’t take long to cook and can be served as a main dish, but also as a starter or a side dish. Or you could serve it as a starter, a main, and a side dish. You might.
