Vegetarian Stuffed Peppers image

This was the first vegetarian recipe I ever made--green peppers stuffed with a mixture of brown rice, nuts, dried cranberries, tofu and cheese. Substitute soy cheese for the Parmesan to create a vegan delight.

Time 1h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

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.

The stuffed peppers were delicious, but they took a lot longer to cook than the recipe said. I had to add an extra 30 minutes to the cooking time.

These stuffed peppers were a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. Next time I'll use less chili powder.

I love this recipe! The stuffed peppers are always so flavorful and juicy. I've even started experimenting with different fillings, like using black beans and corn instead of rice.
