Method

1. A little trick: Stand your peppers up in a muffin tin. Trying to even the bottoms with a knife will often lead to leaks, but the muffin tin will hold them up without altering the pepper.
2. Melt coconut over medium high heat in a large skillet
3. Saute onions and garlic for three minutes, stirring frequently
4. Add ground meat and stir to brown, about 5 minutes
5. Add  cauliflower to food processor, grind until it looks like rice. Then toss it into your pan.
6. Add  mushrooms to food processor, and toss into pan.
7.  And diced tomato, stir for about 10 minutes to cook off liquid
8. Add salt, pepper and seasonings, stir to incorporate
9. Stuff each pepper to the top of each pepper, spread tomato sauce on top of that
   You will likely have leftover meat, don’t worry – it makes a great pre or post-wod snack!
10. Bake the peppers for one hour at 350 degrees until pepper is fork-tender
11. Serve with extra tomato sauce!
