RED PEPPERS STUFFED WITH KALE AND SAUSAGE



Red Peppers Stuffed With Kale and Sausage image

Red Peppers Stuffed With Sausage and Kale The Washington Post, September 21, 2011 • Course: Main Course • Features: Healthy Summary: By Joe Yonan, Food Editor of the Washington Post, 9/21/2001 "This is an economical way to serve a group, using a small amount of meat to season the stuffing of a hearty yet relatively lean dish... The stuffing mixture can be made, cooled and refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days before making the dish." Substitute a soy sausage product to make it vegan. I find it fills five peppers better than six, but of course fruit size varies widely. I also like to add a little more rice than it calls for. I don't think I'd make the filling five days in advance, either; three would be the max as far as I'm concerned.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

12 ounces kale, washed thoroughly
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium garlic clove, chopped
8 ounces hot Italian sausages, casings removed
1/3 cup uncooked arborio rice or 1/3 cup other short-grain rice
28 ounces canned low-sodium crushed tomatoes, with juices (preferably Muir Glen brand fire-roasted tomatoes)
salt
fresh ground black pepper
3/4 cup water
6 large red bell peppers or 2 1/2 lbs total red bell peppers
1/4 cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves, chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Have a baking dish at hand that's large and deep enough to hold 12 bell pepper halves.
  • Strip the kale leaves from the stems, and save the stems for another use. Cut the kale into thin slices.
  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, heat the oil until it starts to shimmer. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have started to soften, about 2 or 3 minutes. Add the sausage and kale and cook, stirring to break apart the meat, until the meat browns and is cooked through and the kale has thoroughly wilted, about 3 or 4 minutes. Use a spoon to break up any clumps of sausage.
  • Add the rice and about ½ cup of the crushed tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the water, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat until the liquid is barely bubbling around the edges. Cover and cook until the rice has absorbed the liquid and has plumped, about 18 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cut the peppers in half, starting close to the stem. Remove and discard the seeds and ribs, but leave the stems as intact as possible (for presentation).
  • When the filling is ready, remove it from the heat and divide it equally among the cavities of the peppers, packing them loosely. Pour the remaining crushed tomatoes and their juices into the baking dish. Arrange the peppers, filled sides up, on top of the tomatoes. Cover with aluminum foil and bake until the peppers have softened, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Uncover; drizzle with the oil and sprinkle with the mint, if desired. Serve hot, with some of the tomatoes and juices from the pan.

Nutrition Facts : ServingSize 1 Serving

Tips:

  • Select the right peppers: Choose firm, brightly colored bell peppers that are heavy for their size. Look for peppers with smooth, unblemished skin.
  • Prepare the peppers properly: Cut the tops off the peppers and remove the seeds and ribs. Rinse the peppers thoroughly and pat them dry.
  • Cook the sausage thoroughly: Brown the sausage in a skillet over medium heat until it is cooked through. Drain the sausage on paper towels to remove excess grease.
  • Wilt the kale: Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the kale and cook, stirring occasionally, until it is wilted and tender, about 5 minutes. Season the kale with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Combine the filling ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooked sausage, wilted kale, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, eggs, and seasonings. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly combined.
  • Stuff the peppers: Spoon the filling mixture into the prepared bell peppers, pressing it down gently to compact it. Cover the peppers with the reserved pepper tops.
  • Bake the peppers: Place the stuffed peppers in a baking dish and add 1 inch of water to the bottom of the dish. Bake the peppers in a preheated oven at 375°F for 30-35 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the filling is cooked through.
  • Serve the peppers: Let the peppers cool slightly before serving. Serve them whole or cut them into halves or quarters.
