Looking for something to stuff peppers with?

post #1 of 8

I have a lot of various peppers - green, red, yellow, and a few jalapenos. I am looking for some stuffed pepper ideas.

Thanks!

I stuff mine with a mixture of mashes chickpeas, cooked rice, shredded carrots, minced onion, garlic powder, thyme, paprika, salt and pepper, and I moisten it with some veggie stock. I stuff the peppers, place them upright in a pot, then pour a tomato puree/juice to cover them. I season the tomato mixture with garlic and italian seasoning.

Its how I do my cabbage rolls too.

We usually do one of two ways:

1. Sautee diced eggplant with onions, garlic, herbs, s&p and tomatoes if you have. You could also toss everything together with olive oil and roast on a sheet pan. Toss with pine nuts and orzo. Stuff peppers, top with cheese and roast.

2. Sautee red onion and garlic in olive oil with s&p, add pine nuts, toss with couscous and feta cheese. Stuff peppers and roast.

A third way I like with orange or yellow bell peppers: Sautee spinach with lots of garlic until just wilted. Season with s&p and lemon juice. Toss with brown rice and feta cheese. Stuff and roast.

I usually roast the pepper halfway through before stuffing, so the filling doesn't get over done.

Yesterday I did cooked quinoa, toasted pine nuts, sauteed/carmelized onion, raisins and goat cheese tossed with a drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper. It was soooo good!

I like bulgar and lentils, with sauted mushrooms and onions, garlic, thyme, lemon and paprika, couple splashes of soy sauce for the seasonings.

I first blanch the peppers, then stuff and use some kind of gravy (i like chickpea and mushroom) to pour all over, sprinkle with a blend of nutritional yeast and ground nuts, and bake just until bubbly. Im not the biggest fan of tomato sauce so it's my alternative.

I usually do it more casserole style, and cut the peppers in half and lay cut side up. I don't know why but it seems easier, and especially for reheating. Unless the peppers are very very small, but i got a dozen giant ones and that's what i did with them

We do chopped tofu sauteed in a soy sauce and peanut butter, then stuffed in the pep with corn, black beans, tomatoes, celery, and the diced pepper cap and baked until really soft.
