Vegetarian Stuffed Peppers
A vegetarian version of a Mediterranean classic.
Ingredients
Directions
- Mix all of the ingredients except for the bell peppers and one tomato for covering the peppers.
- Wash peppers and take out the top part and the seeds.
- Stuff the peppers with the rice mix with a spoon or your hand.
- Cut small pieces from remaining tomato to cover the top part of the peppers.
- Press the tomato slice down a bit so that it won’t come out. (This keeps everything moist).
- Place the stuffed peppers in an oven dish as tall as the peppers. Pour 2 cups of boiling water on top (you can add a tiny bit of bouillon cube to the water).
- Let the peppers boil for 5 minutes on the stovetop. Then, bake it in a preheated oven at 400° F (200° C) for 35-40 minutes until rice is cooked and tops are browned. Check regularly if you don’t want to burn the tops.
- Note: the stuffing mixture would usually include olive oil and pine nuts, so instead I sometimes cook the rice with a little vegetable or chicken broth cube and a tablespoon of tomato paste in the water; or add some diced mushrooms, eggplant or other vegetable to the mix to add even more texture or flavor.
