Stuffed/Baked Bell Peppers with Chickpea Mash, Eggs and Harissa Recipe image

Provided by dtrumble

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 item(s) uncooked bell pepper(s), assorted colors
2 spray(s) cooking spray
1 medium uncooked onion(s), diced
3 ⁄4 tsp table salt, or to taste (divided)
1 ⁄2 tsp black pepper, or to taste (divided)
1 ⁄2 tsp ground turmeric
1 ⁄2 tsp garlic powder
1 ⁄4 tsp ground cumin
1 ⁄4 tsp ground cinnamon
3 cup(s) fresh baby spinach, chopped
3 ⁄4 cup(s) canned drained chickpeas, rinsed, drained, mashed slightly with a fork
6 large egg(s)
6 tsp chives, or cilantro, minced
6 Tbsp harissa paste, mild or hot

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil (or coat pan with cooking spray). 2. Slice a lengthwise piece off each pepper so stem and bottom remain intact; reserve cut pieces of pepper. Carefully scoop out membrane and seeds from peppers (use a melon baller if you have one) and set on prepared pan, cut-side up. Loosely cover peppers with aluminum foil; bake 15 minutes. 3. Meanwhile, dice reserved pepper pieces. Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; warm over medium-low heat. Add diced pepper, onion, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper to skillet; saute until tender, 5-10 minutes. Add turmeric, garlic powder, cumin and cinnamon; toss to combine and heat for 30 seconds. Add spinach and chickpeas; toss to combine and remove from heat. 4. Remove peppers from oven. Reduce heat to 375°F. Divide chickpea mixture evenly among peppers; crack an egg onto each pepper, and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Bake, uncovered, until egg whites set completely, about 20 minutes. Serve sprinkled with chives (or cilantro); spoon harissa over top. 5. Serving size: 1 stuffed pepper

Tips:

  • To easily remove the pepper seeds and ribs, cut the pepper in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop them out.
  • To prevent the peppers from becoming soggy, pre-bake them for 10-15 minutes before stuffing them.
  • Use a variety of fillings to create different flavors and textures. Some popular options include rice, ground beef, sausage, vegetables, and cheese.
  • To keep the peppers moist, add a cup of water or broth to the bottom of the baking dish.
  • Bake the peppers at 350°F for 30-45 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the filling is cooked through.

Conclusion:

Baked stuffed peppers are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. With a variety of filling options and cooking methods, there is sure to be a recipe that everyone will enjoy. So next time you are looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give baked stuffed peppers a try!
