Preparation

Low

Carefully cut off the top of each pepper and set it aside as we will use it to cover them later. Check that each pepper stands upright, and if not, make a small cut at the bottom. Remove seeds and cook in salted water for 4 minutes, drain, and rinse in cold water. Set aside. Heat olive oil and fry garlic and onion, add green onions and peas for 5 minutes. Add rice, herbs, chayote, cinnamon, and puree. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon. Stuff the peppers and put their tops back on, arranging them in a baking dish. Make a seasoned tomato broth and add lemon. Serve the broth around the peppers and heat in the oven for 40 minutes so they don’t fall apart. Serve with pita bread and salad.
