Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers: Bell peppers of different colors (e.g., red, orange, yellow) not only add visual appeal but also offer a slightly different flavor profile. Pick firm and unblemished peppers with smooth, glossy skin.
  • Prep your peppers properly: To ensure even cooking, cut the peppers lengthwise and remove the seeds and ribs. Don't make the cuts too deep, or the peppers may break apart during grilling.
  • Prepare the stuffing ahead of time: The black bean and rice stuffing can be made up to 2 days in advance, allowing the flavors to meld. This saves time on the day of grilling and ensures the stuffing is chilled, making it easier to handle.
  • Grill the peppers over medium heat: This helps prevent the peppers from burning and ensures they have time to cook through without becoming mushy. Use a grill pan or a grill basket to keep the peppers from falling through the grates.
  • Baste the peppers: During grilling, baste the peppers with a mixture of olive oil, salt, and pepper. This helps keep them moist and adds extra flavor.
  • Top with cheese: For a cheesy finish, sprinkle shredded cheese over the stuffed peppers towards the end of grilling. Cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend of your favorite cheeses work well.
  • Serve immediately: Grilled black bean and rice stuffed peppers are best served hot off the grill. Garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley for an extra burst of flavor.
