STUFFED ROASTED YELLOW PEPPERS OR RED PEPPERS IN TOMATO SAUCE
These roasted yellow peppers are filled with a savory mix of quinoa seasoned with garlic and parsley and tossed with Manchego or Parmesan cheese. The roasted peppers make a nice contrast in color and flavor to the sweet tomato sauce. You'll get plenty of Vitamin C and lycopene from both the peppers and the sauce in this dish.

Steps:
- Roast the peppers over a flame, under a broiler or on a grill until uniformly charred. Place in a plastic bag or a tightly covered bowl and allow to cool. When cool enough to handle, remove all of the charred skin, rinse briefly and pat dry.
- Carefully cut away the stem from the peppers. Cut a slit down the side of each pepper, from the stem end to the bottom. Gently open out and remove the seeds and membranes; tip out the juice. Try to keep the peppers in one piece. Set aside.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium heat in a large, nonstick skillet and add the garlic. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the parsley and quinoa and mix together until the quinoa is coated with oil. Remove from the heat and stir in the cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Oil a baking dish large enough to accommodate all of the peppers. One at a time, lay a pepper in the dish and fill with the quinoa mixture. I do this by gently opening up the pepper, mounding the filling onto one half, and folding the other half back over the filling, overlapping the edges slightly. Lay the peppers in the dish. Cover the baking dish with foil or a lid and bake the peppers for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, reheat the tomato sauce.
- Ladle the tomato sauce onto serving plates or a serving platter. Top with the stuffed peppers and serve.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly oil shallow baking pan or cookie sheet with sides with 1 tablespoon of the oil.

- Score an "x" into bottom of each tomato; place in heatproof bowl. Pour boiling water over tomatoes. Let stand 1 minute. Drain tomatoes; use fingers to slide skins from tomatoes. Cut each tomato into quarters. Place tomato quarters evenly into pepper halves.
- Place garlic slices evenly in pepper halves; sprinkle with herbs. Drizzle remaining 2 tablespoons oil over pepper halves; sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Roast 50 to 60 minutes. Transfer cooked pepper halves to serving dish. Pour any juices left in pan over peppers. Crumble cheese into each pepper half. Serve with French bread.

GRUYèRE-STUFFED ROASTED RED PEPPERS WITH RAISINS AND OLIVES
My usual method for roasting peppers is to sit each pepper on an open flame, letting the skin turn black and ashen in spots. It's time-consuming, especially if I'm roasting more than four peppers at once (I have a four-burner stove), so I blacken them all together under the broiler. (You could also use a grill.)

Steps:
- Heat broiler. Place red peppers on a baking sheet and broil until charred all over, turning peppers as they darken. Time will vary with the intensity of your broiler, so keep an eye on them. Transfer peppers to a bowl, cover with a dish towel, and let cool.
- Meanwhile, spread tomatoes (skin side up), onion chunks and garlic on a baking sheet. Broil until vegetables are just beginning to char in spots, about 3 minutes. Transfer them to a blender with the sage, pepper flakes and salt, and blend until smooth. Taste, and add more salt, if necessary. Leave blender top on to keep sauce warm. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Peel red peppers, then make a slit down one side of each and take out seeds, leaving stems attached if possible. (They look better that way for serving.) A paper towel is helpful for peeling and seeding. Do not use water, which dilutes the peppers' flavor.
- If raisins are not plump, cover them with boiling water and let sit for 5 minutes. Drain well. Toss the cheese, olives and raisins together. Stuff mixture into peppers, and place in a baking dish. Bake for 15 minutes, then add the sauce and continue to bake until cheese bubbles, about 20 minutes longer. Serve peppers hot or at room temperature.

ZUCCHINI STUFFED WITH FETA AND ROASTED RED PEPPERS
Steps:
- Preheat broiler.
- Cut zucchini crosswise into 3/4-inch-thick sections, discarding ends, and with a melonballer scoop out center of each section, leaving 1/16-inch-thick shells and reserving centers for another use. In a steamer set over simmering water steam zucchini shells, covered, 4 minutes, or until barely tender but still bright green. Transfer shells to paper towels to drain upside down.
- In a small bowl stir together roasted peppers, feta, oregano, and black pepper and mound in each shell. Arrange shells in a lightly oiled shallow flameproof baking dish and broil about 4 inches from heat until bubbling and beginning to turn golden, about 4 minutes.
Tips:
- Choose the right peppers: Bell peppers are the most common type used for stuffed peppers, but you can also use poblano, cubanelle, or any other type of pepper that you like. Just be sure to choose peppers that are large enough to hold the stuffing.
- Cook the rice ahead of time: This will save you time when you're assembling the stuffed peppers. You can cook the rice in a pot on the stovetop or in a rice cooker.
- Use a variety of fillings: The possibilities are endless when it comes to stuffed pepper fillings. You can use ground beef, turkey, chicken, or sausage. You can also add vegetables, beans, rice, or cheese. Get creative and experiment with different flavors.
- Don't overstuff the peppers: The peppers should be filled, but not so tightly that they're bursting at the seams. Otherwise, they'll split open during cooking.
- Bake the peppers at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy crust on the outside of the peppers and prevent them from becoming mushy.
- Serve the peppers with your favorite sauce: You can serve stuffed peppers with a variety of sauces, such as tomato sauce, enchilada sauce, or a simple bechamel sauce.
Conclusion:
Stuffed peppers are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They're perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With so many different variations, there's sure to be a stuffed pepper recipe that everyone will love.
