Spicy Stuffed Bell Peppers (Vegetarian/Vegan/Gluten-Free) image

With hearty lentils, brown rice, and vegetables, as well as some sassy seasonings, nobody will miss the meat in this recipe I created for company. I served them with a side of sweet potato fries and watermelon for dessert. Any extra filling makes an excellent midnight snack or lunch.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 bell peppers (any color)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 -2 fresh jalapeno pepper, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
1/2 cup brown rice
1/2 cup lentils
2 cups vegetable broth or 2 cups water
2 teaspoons garam masala
2 tablespoons Braggs liquid aminos (gluten-free if required for diet) or 2 tablespoons soy sauce, divided (gluten-free if required for diet)
1/2 cup corn, fresh or 1/2 cup corn, frozen
1/2 cup frozen peas
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 tablespoon all-natural ketchup (gluten-free if required for diet)

Steps:

  • Sautee onion, jalapeno, and garlic in oil until onion just starts to turn clear. Add carrots and cook another minute or two. Add rice, lentils, and liquid. Turn heat up to high. Stir in garam masala and 1 tablespoon of the Braggs. Bring to a boil. Then cover and reduce heat. Simmer for 40-50 minutes or until rice and lentils are tender.
  • Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut tops off of bell peppers and clean seeds out from inside. Submerge in boiling water for 3-5 minutes. Place in a shallow baking dish.
  • Mix tomato paste, remaining Braggs, and ketchup in a small bowl. Add a little warm water to thin to the consistency of a thick sauce.
  • When lentil/rice mixture is cooked, stir in corn and peas. Scoop mixture into bell peppers. Spoon tomato sauce on top of each and bake for about 20 minutes or until peppers are slightly tender and tomato sauce is dark.

This recipe is way too complicated. I gave up halfway through.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my peppers were mushy. I think I cooked them for too long.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my stuffed bell peppers turned out really bland.

Overall, I thought this was a good recipe. I would make a few changes next time, but I would definitely make it again.

The peppers were a bit undercooked for my taste. I would cook them for a few extra minutes next time.

I found the filling to be a bit dry. I think I would add some more salsa or tomato sauce next time.

I froze some of the leftover stuffed bell peppers for later. They reheated well in the microwave.

These stuffed bell peppers are a great make-ahead meal. I made them on Sunday and ate them for lunch all week.

I added a little bit of cayenne pepper to the filling for some extra heat.

I didn't have any quinoa on hand, so I used rice instead. It worked out just fine.

I'm allergic to bell peppers, so I made these stuffed tomatoes instead. They were just as good!

I used a different type of cheese for the filling, but the recipe still turned out great.
