If you cannot find those adorable mini peppers, simply cut large ones into bite-size cubes. You can also add two or three zucchini (sliced) for even more variety. Mrs W. wrote, “Thank you for this outstanding recipe. When I made it last Passover, my son asked me to make it more often. He said, ‘Mom, this was worth coming home for.'”
