I was really excited about the Stuffed Peppers recipe, because I love peppers and I've always wanted to try polenta. Plus the flavors sounded right up my alley (minus the olives - YUCK!). But I have to say I was underwhelmed. I made them on Monday night. There just wasn't enough flavor in them for me - were the olives really that important?! I made a few changes to try to add some other flavors to replace the olives - some cumin, pepper jack mixed in with the cheddar and some cilantro, but it didn't seem to help much. Anshul thought it tasted like peppers filled with mush. Or maybe I didn't cook the polenta long enough - my peppers did look a little different from the photo in the book. Not sure. I'll be curious to see what you thought of them. I really like the idea and I wonder if the recipe could be fixed by adding a bunch more stuff in with the polenta. The black bean sauce helped a lot - a bit with the polenta, pepper and sauce was tasty.
