Cook's notes
Do not pack the filling too tightly — the millet will expand in volume. If the sauce evaporates too quickly, add a little hot water. For a richer flavor, let the finished dish rest for 20–30 minutes. The stuffed peppers taste even better the next day. If the peppers are very large, you can increase the cooking time to 75–80 minutes.
