# Components:
→ Vegetables
01 - 2 large red bell peppers
02 - 2 large yellow bell peppers
03 - 2 large green bell peppers
→ Filling
04 - 7 oz cream cheese, softened
05 - 2 tablespoons sour cream
06 - 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped
07 - 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
08 - 1 garlic clove, minced
09 - Salt and black pepper, to taste
→ Garnish
10 - 2 tablespoons pomegranate seeds (optional)
11 - Fresh dill sprigs (optional)
# Method:
01 - Wash and dry the bell peppers. Cut off the tops and bottoms, then slice each pepper into wide, flat strips about ¾ inch wide. Reserve the most flexible strips for shaping bows.
02 - Combine cream cheese, sour cream, chives, parsley, and minced garlic in a bowl until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
03 - Lay a bell pepper strip flat. Place a heaping teaspoon of filling in the center. Fold both ends toward the center to form loops resembling a bow. Secure the center with a small bell pepper strip or chive stem by wrapping and tucking underneath.
04 - Continue forming bows with remaining pepper strips and filling until all are assembled.
05 - Arrange the bows on a serving platter. Garnish with pomegranate seeds and fresh dill sprigs, if desired.
