I stirfry with bell peppers am I also incorporate Bell peppers into my diet and all sorts of ways. I cannot digest them raw because of my IBS but I do incorporate them into other dishes. I am Italian and I make them with beef with spaghetti sauce or Italian sausage and spaghetti sauce using the sauce is small amounts with a ton of red and yellow peppers and onions. Basically hi put them in the anything I am make at least once a week. What I like about them is that I may not have every ingredient to make a certain dish so I just looked in the freezer and the refrigerator and I can make all sorts of dishes incorporating peppers especially Mexican style with chicken or beef such as fajitas!
