Time 1h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 ½ cups brown rice
6 large green bell peppers
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons cooking sherry
1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
1 ½ cups extra firm tofu
½ cup sweetened dried cranberries
¼ cup chopped pecans
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
salt and pepper to taste
2 cups tomato sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a saucepan bring 3 cups water to a boil. Stir in rice. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 40 minutes.
Meanwhile, core and seed green peppers, leaving bottoms intact. Place peppers in a microwavable dish with about 1/2 inch of water in the bottom. Microwave on high for 6 minutes.
In a small frying pan bring soy sauce, wine and Worcestershire sauce to a simmer. Add tofu and simmer until the liquid is absorbed. Combine rice (after it has cooled), tofu, cranberries, nuts, cheese, salt and pepper; mix and pack firmly into peppers. Return peppers to the dish you first microwaved them in, and bake in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until lightly browned on top.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over low heat, combine tomato sauce and brown sugar; heat until hot throughout. Spoon sauce over each serving.

Tips:

Choose the right peppers: Look for bell peppers that are firm, brightly colored, and have smooth skin. Avoid peppers that are bruised or have soft spots.
Prepare the peppers properly: Cut the peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and ribs. Rinse the peppers well and pat them dry.
Cook the filling thoroughly: Make sure that the filling is cooked all the way through before stuffing the peppers. This will help to prevent foodborne illness.
Don't overcook the peppers: Overcooked peppers will be mushy and bland. Cook them just until they are tender-crisp.
Serve the peppers immediately: Stuffed peppers are best served hot out of the oven. They can be reheated, but they will not be as good as when they are first made.

Conclusion:

Grilled vegetarian stuffed peppers are a delicious, healthy, and versatile dish. They can be made with a variety of fillings, so you can customize them to your own taste. They are perfect for a summer cookout or a weeknight meal. With a little planning, you can easily make grilled vegetarian stuffed peppers that your whole family will love.
