Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

4 medium green bell peppers
8 ounces ground pork sausage
1 1/2 cups chopped onions
1/2 cup chopped celery
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 1/2 cups cooked long-grain rice
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more for seasoning
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
1/2 teaspoon Essence, plus more for seasoning, recipe follows
1/4 cup chopped green onions, green part only
1 tablespoon chopped parsley leaves
2 tablespoons fine dry bread crumbs
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
4 teaspoons unsalted butter
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Cut off the top quarter of each bell pepper and reserve. Scoop the seeds and veins out from the inside of each pepper and discard. Set bell pepper shells aside. Remove and discard the stems from each bell pepper top. Dice enough of the bell pepper tops to make 1/2 cup. Set aside.
  • In a large skillet, over medium-high heat, crumble and brown the sausage until cooked through, about 4 minutes. Add the onions, 1/2 cup diced bell pepper, and the celery. Saute for 4 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the rice and mix well. Season with salt, pepper and Essence. Cook for about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the green onions and parsley. Season the insides of the bell pepper shells with salt and pepper, to taste. Spoon the rice mixture into the bell peppers.
  • In a small bowl, combine the bread crumbs and cheese. Season with a pinch of Essence and mix well. Sprinkle the crust over each pepper. Top each crust with 1 teaspoon of butter and place the peppers into an 8-inch baking dish or pan. Add just enough water to cover the bottom, about 1/3 cup. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the tops are crusty and brown and warmed through. Serve hot.
  • Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

STUFFED PEPPERS



Stuffed Peppers image

In this classic home cooking recipe from Jacques Pépin, green bell peppers are stuffed with a hearty combination of mushrooms, ground sausage, onion, zucchini and fresh bread crumbs, then baked for a little over an hour until the peppers are tender and the filling cooked through. They're not only easy to make, they are also endlessly adaptable. Don't have bread crumbs? Use orzo, rice, quinoa or practically any other cooked grain. Not a fan of zucchini? Add some diced tomato, eggplant or summer squash. Vegetarian? Leave out the sausage and toss in some cooked beans or grated cheese. Make it your own. Just remember to season and taste the filling as you go. If it tastes good outside of the pepper, it'll taste good inside, too.

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 large green bell peppers
1 pound Italian sausage, either mild or spicy
1/2 pound mushrooms, washed and chopped (about 3 1/2 cups)
8 ounces fresh bread crumbs (about 4 cups)
2 onions, peeled and coarsely chopped (about 2 cups)
1 zucchini (6 ounces), cut into 1/4-inch cubes (about 1/2 cup)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut around the stem ends of the green peppers and remove a "hat" from each pepper with the stem in the center. Trim these hats at the base so they are about 1/2-inch thick and set them aside. Remove and discard seeds and trim the ribs of the peppers. Stand the peppers upright side by side in a gratin dish.
  • In a bowl combine the sausage, mushrooms, bread crumbs, onions, zucchini, salt and pepper and mix well. Stuff the peppers with this mixture and place the hats back on top.
  • Sprinkle the olive oil on top of the peppers and pour 1 cup of water around them. Place the peppers in the oven for 1 hour 15 minutes. Serve with the surrounding juice, salt and pepper.

This recipe's roots can be traced back to the Great Depression, when farmers first began selling the unripe peppers out of necessity. Of course, we did what Americans always do when faced with a new variety of food, we stuffed meat in it.

Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers: Look for large, firm bell peppers with smooth skin and no blemishes. The color of the pepper does not affect the taste, so feel free to use any color you like.
  • Prep the peppers properly: Cut the peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and ribs. Rinse the peppers thoroughly and pat them dry.
  • Make sure the sausage is cooked through: The sausage should be cooked until it is no longer pink in the center. You can cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat, or in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes.
  • Don't overstuff the peppers: The peppers should be filled, but not so tightly that they are bursting at the seams. Otherwise, they may split open during cooking.
  • Bake the peppers at a high temperature: This will help to ensure that the peppers are cooked evenly and that the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Conclusion:

Sausage stuffed green bell peppers are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. They are also a great way to use up leftover sausage.
