Spicy Stuffed Peppers

I have eaten a great deal of stuffed peppers in my life and these are the best. Who would have guessed walnuts, green olives, raisins...? There are some strange things in there but what a great taste they made. I added a can of diced tomatoes and a cup of salsa. I like mine more moist. After eating them I felt the walnuts although nutritious were hard to find. I wonder how some water chestnuts would be? My hat is off to whoever developed this recipe. Thank you!
