Best 6 Provencal Tomato Stuffed Bell Peppers Recipes

TOMATO STUFFED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a large, shallow baking dish with cooking spray.
• Cut the peppers in half lengthwise, removing the seeds but leaving the stem. Although the stem is not edible it looks good in this dish and helps the pepper retain its shape. Place the peppers cut side up in the baking dish.
• Divide the sliced garlic and the olives evenly among the peppers. Cut each tomato into 8 wedges and put 4 wedges into each pepper. Drizzle each stuffed pepper with a little oil and season with a few grinds of pepper.
• Roast the peppers for about 50 minutes or until they are tender and beginning to brown around the edges.

PROVENCAL STUFFED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Arrange the bread cubes on a baking sheet and lightly toast in the oven, about 10 minutes. Let cool.
• Increase the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Remove the cores from the top of the tomatoes and cut the top off the tomato 1/4 of the way down. Reserve the tops. Slice enough of the bottom off each tomato, so it stands up, but don't cut through to the seed. (If you cut too deep, patch the hole with the piece you have just sliced off, by placing it in the bottom after you've hollowed it out.)
• Using a melon baller, carefully scoop the inside of the tomatoes out, taking care not to penetrate the sides and create holes. Collect the balls of pulp and chop coarsely. Press the juice and seeds through a strainer. Add the strained juice to the chopped pulp.
• In a bowl, mix together the tomato pulp, Parmesan, olives, olive oil, parsley, basil, oregano, and garlic. Toss with the bread cubes and season with salt and pepper. Let the mixture sit until the bread cubes have soaked up most of the moisture.
• Season the interior of each tomato with salt and black pepper. Stuff each tomato with 1 bread cube and as much as herb olive mixture that you can pack in. Top with the reserved tomato tops and stick a toothpick through the center of the top to keep it from sliding off while it bakes. Place the stuffed tomatoes in a roasting pan that has been drizzled with olive oil. Drizzle the tops of tomatoes with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast until bubbling and tender, about 30 to 40 minutes.

ROASTED PEPPERS STUFFED WITH CHERRY TOMATOES, ONION, AND BASIL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F and lightly oil a large shallow baking pan.
• Halve bell peppers lengthwise and discard seeds and ribs. Arrange peppers, cut sides up, in baking pan and lightly oil cut edges and stems. Halve tomatoes and chop onion and basil. Finely chop garlic and in a bowl toss with tomatoes, onion, basil, 2 tablespoons oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Divide mixture among peppers and roast in upper third of oven until peppers are tender, about 20 minutes.

STUFFED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut around the stem ends of the green peppers and remove a "hat" from each pepper with the stem in the center. Trim these hats at the base so they are about 1/2-inch thick and set them aside. Remove and discard seeds and trim the ribs of the peppers. Stand the peppers upright side by side in a gratin dish.
• In a bowl combine the sausage, mushrooms, bread crumbs, onions, zucchini, salt and pepper and mix well. Stuff the peppers with this mixture and place the hats back on top.
• Sprinkle the olive oil on top of the peppers and pour 1 cup of water around them. Place the peppers in the oven for 1 hour 15 minutes. Serve with the surrounding juice, salt and pepper.

PROVENCAL STUFFED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet or in a casserole dish, place tomatoes, cut side up, and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons oil. In a food processor or blender, combine 1/2 cup oil, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic, and basil and process until combined, 20 seconds (mixture should have a wet, crumbly consistency). Season with salt and pepper. Top each tomato half with 1 heaping tablespoon breadcrumb mixture. Bake until tops are browned and tomatoes are warmed through, 20 minutes.
