Categories     Pork

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients
One 5-ounce bag baby spinach
2 slices of white sandwich bread, finely chopped
1/4 cup milk
1 large egg
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
2 tablespoons pine nuts
2 tablespoons chopped red onion
1 pound sweet or hot Italian sausage, casings removed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 small or 4 large Italian frying peppers-halved lengthwise and cored, stems left intact
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup canned tomato sauce
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth

Steps:

  • Directions In a very large skillet, cook the spinach over high heat just until wilted, about 1 minute. Drain and press out all of the water. Coarsely chop the spinach. Rinse out and dry the pan. In a large bowl, knead the chopped bread with the milk, egg and cheese to form a paste. Knead in the pine nuts, onion, sausage and spinach and season lightly with salt and pepper. Using lightly moistened hands, divide the mixture among the pepper halves and lightly pack it in. In the skillet, heat the olive oil until shimmering. Add the stuffed peppers, filling side down, and cook over high heat until well-browned, about 4 minutes. Turn the peppers and cook until the skins are browned and blistered, about 4 minutes longer. Add the tomato sauce and chicken broth, cover and simmer until the sausage filling is cooked through and the peppers are tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer to plates and serve right away. Make Ahead The stuffed peppers in sauce can be refrigerated overnight.

I added a little bit of heat to these stuffed peppers by using spicy sausage. It gave them a nice kick!

I've made these stuffed peppers with both brown rice and white rice. I prefer the brown rice because it's healthier and it gives the peppers a nice nutty flavor.

I was a little hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of spinach, but I'm so glad I did! The spinach was cooked perfectly and it paired really well with the sausage and cheese.
