Delicious Vegan Gluten-Free Recipe: Stuffed Peppers & Millet

Here is a Delicious Vegan Gluten-Free Recipe from one of my experiments that went right! I’m a huge fan of peppers and I especially love stuffing them. They are undeniably flavourful and versatile. Overall, the perfect type of appetizer or side dish that you can serve on any occasion, but I like to add mine with millet as I like to always mix with different complex carbs.
