Avocado Stuffed Mini Bell Peppers

Oof, usually PUL recipes work out so well, but after making 4 servings of this recipe according to the exact directions, the hemp seeds and salt were waaaaaay too present. It honestly tasted awful.. I added more avocados and more cream cheese, but the hemp seeds still overpowered the recipe. Suffice it to say, I won't be serving this to my guests... A tip for if you're making this: add a little bit of hemp seeds first, taste, and then add more to taste (and do the same with the salt). I think it possibly could be tasty that way.

Hey Noah, thanks so much for the feedback, and we’re so sorry this one didn’t hit the mark for you. You make a great point, and in hindsight, the flavour can depend on the size of the avocado, so if yours was perhaps smaller than ours, I can see how the hemp seeds and salt can easily become overpowering. We’ve updated the recipe to note this, suggesting starting with less hemp and adding more to taste, and we also reduced the salt. Really appreciate you sharing your experience so we could make it better 🌱

Thank you so much for your amazing reply, and for adding these things to the recipe!

Flavors were nice and simple! Texture of the stuffing was a bit off-putting for me though.. I might try just adding less filling in the future.

When I first read this recipe, I thought “What an odd combination to put hemp seeds into this🧐”. However, I could have never imagined that the stuffed bell peppers would be a new snack favourite. It is creamy without being too liquid (haha, great use of left over hemp seeds), and I used sriracha sauce instead of sweet chili sauce to add some additional heat. I was lucky to find some crispy mini bell peppers that I think is necessary for the overall texture

Hiya Louise, how lovely to hear that the hemp seeds worked out so well! The addition of sriracha sauce for extra heat sounds delicious, and the crispy mini bell peppers must have added the perfect texture 🙌

I used standard bell peppers halved rather than mini ones. Easy to make and tastes good
