You must have used GIANT peppers! I had enough to stuff three peppers and there's still some filling left in the mixing bowl!

The recipe was pretty good, but the filling didn't quite have the consistency I expected it to. Next time I think I might use rice instead of barley, or add cheese. - 4/8/10
