Alpaca Stuffed Peppers
Now that you’re thoroughly in the mood for exotic meat, let’s try a recipe with alpaca meat as the staple.
What you’ll need:
- 1 lb alpaca meat, minced
- 1 cup chopped spinach
- ½ cup leeks
- 3 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp garlic
- 4 red peppers
- Crushed red chili pepper, salt and pepper to taste
- Cheese of your choice
How to prepare:
Cut the tops off the peppers and take out seeds. Rinse out peppers and put upside down on paper towel to dry. Grab your frying pan and put it on low heat to melt the butter, then add in the leeks. Add the garlic, minced alpaca, crushed chili pepper, salt and pepper, stirring constantly. When the meat is brown, turn off and add in the spinach. Combine. Stuff the mixture into each pepper. Top with cheese and bake in the oven for about a half hour. Enjoy!
