Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 green bell peppers
salt to taste
1 pound ground beef
⅓ cup chopped onion
salt and pepper to taste
1 (14.5 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes, chopped
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
½ cup uncooked rice
½ cup water
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed tomato soup
water as needed

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cut the tops off the peppers, and remove the seeds. Cook peppers in boiling water for 5 minutes; drain. Sprinkle salt inside each pepper, and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, saute beef and onions for 5 minutes, or until beef is browned. Drain off excess fat, and season with salt and pepper. Stir in the tomatoes, rice, 1/2 cup water and Worcestershire sauce. Cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until rice is tender. Remove from heat, and stir in the cheese.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. (175 degrees C). Stuff each pepper with the beef and rice mixture, and place peppers open side up in a baking dish. In a medium bowl, combine tomato soup with just enough water to make the soup a gravy consistency. Pour over the peppers.
  • Bake covered for 25 to 35 minutes, until heated through and cheese is melted and bubbly.

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 lb potato, peeled and quartered (a waxy potato, like Yukon Gold)
6 small green bell peppers
2 tablespoons oil
2 onions, peeled and finely chopped
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
salt, to taste
1/2 onion, peeled and finely chopped
6 whole cloves
6 green cardamom pods, slightly crushed to barely open

1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon chili powder

salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Cook potatoes in a saucepan of simmering water for 15 minutes, or until tender, then drain and cut into small cubes.

INDIAN STUFFED GREEN PEPPERS

Posted for ZWT6. Adapted from Sanjeev Kapoor's website to make four servings. If you don't have access to paneer, there are recipes on this site to make it homemade. I have listed the amchur (mango powder) as optional in case you can't find it. The type of cheese sprinkled on top is not specified, I would probably use more paneer.

Tips:

  • To make sure the green peppers are cooked evenly, try to choose ones that are similar in size.
  • If you don't have basmati rice, you can use another type of long-grain rice, such as jasmine rice or brown rice.
  • Be careful not to overcook the rice, as this will make it mushy.
  • If you don't have garam masala, you can make your own by combining ground cumin, coriander, cardamom, black pepper, and cinnamon.
  • If you like spicy food, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the filling.
  • Serve the stuffed green peppers with a side of yogurt or raita for a complete meal.

Conclusion:

Indian stuffed green peppers are a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for a vegetarian or vegan meal. They are also a great way to use up leftover rice. The combination of spices and herbs in the filling gives the peppers a unique and complex flavor that is sure to please everyone at the table.
