Notes

Notes:

I like to use this rotary grater for grating both the bell pepper and slicing the garlic. You do NOT want to chop the peppers.
Optionally, you can add in a variety of peppers in addition to the bell peppers if you'd like spice, too.
The more garlic, the better! Sometimes, I do 2 full heads of garlic
