# What You'll Need:
→ 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)
# Step-by-Step:
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. Set aside the most flexible strips for shaping bows.
02 - In a bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, chives, parsley, and minced garlic 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 two loops resembling a bow. Secure the center with a small strip of bell pepper or a chive stem by wrapping it around and tucking it underneath.
04 - Repeat the assembly process with remaining pepper strips and filling until all bows are formed.
05 - Arrange the bows on a serving platter. Garnish with pomegranate seeds and fresh dill sprigs, if desired.
