Can You Cut peppers in half for stuffed peppers?

Cut the bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove seeds and membrane. Drizzle with a little olive oil and rub both the inside and outside to coat them. Arrange them upside down in two baking pans or one half sheet pan and pre-bake for about 15 minutes, while you're making the stuffing.

How do you keep stuffed peppers from falling over?

There are two things you can do. Try cutting a small flat piece off of the bottom of the pepper so that it has a more even bottom. Don't cut all the way through the pepper when doing so or any liquid from the stuffing will leak out onto the pan making a mess.

While stuffed grape leaves can be made with leaves harvested a few days earlier – which is how they are most commonly used – fresh leaves can be eaten without cooking and added to salads and other cold dishes. And by the way, some people say the leaves from red grapes are better for eating than those of green grapes.
