# What You'll Need:

→ Vegetables

01 - 2 large red bell peppers
02 - 2 large yellow bell peppers

# Method:

01 - Wash and dry the bell peppers. Cut off tops and bottoms, then slice each pepper into wide, flat strips about 3/4 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 and place a heaping teaspoon of filling in the center. Fold both ends toward the center to create two loops resembling a bow. Secure the center with a small strip of bell pepper or chive stem, wrapping and tucking it underneath.
04 - Repeat the folding and filling process with remaining strips and filling until all bows are formed.
