Chef's Tips

To ensure the peppers stand upright, slice a tiny bit off the bottom of each pepper if they are wobbly. Toasting the pine nuts in a dry pan for two minutes brings out a deeper, buttery flavor that complements the warm cinnamon.

Easy Substitutions

You can replace ground beef with ground lamb for a more traditional flavor profile. If you prefer a vegetarian version, substitute the beef with an equal amount of cooked chickpeas or brown lentils.
