Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons cumin
2 small purple onions, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (300 g) package frozen vegetarian ground beef (one bag of Quorn mince or one box of Boca meatless ground burger will do the trick)
12 ounces frozen whole kernel corn
1 teaspoon coriander
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper (you can adjust this to your preference)
2 teaspoons salt
3/4 cup water
1 1/2 cups white rice, prepared
1 cup shredded mild cheddar cheese, divided
3 bell peppers, cut in half lengthwise, seeds removed (1 each red, yellow and green bell pepper)
1/2 cup water

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400°F Heat olive oil in large skillet and then add cumin, garlic and onion; saute until tender. Mix ground burger, corn, spices and 3/4 cup water in; cook on medium heat 5 minutes or until heated through, stirring frequently. If mixture seems dry and sticks to skillet, you can add more water, up to 1/2 cup. Remove from heat. Add prepared rice and 1/2 cup of the cheese and mix thoroughly.
Spoon mixture evenly into pepper halves and place in 13x9-inch pan. Pour 1/2 cup water into pan (this will ensure that the peppers are tenderly cooked).
Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Uncover. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Bake an additional 5 minutes or until cheese is evenly melted.

With hearty lentils, brown rice, and vegetables, as well as some sassy seasonings, nobody will miss the meat in this recipe I created for company. I served them with a side of sweet potato fries and watermelon for dessert. Any extra filling makes an excellent midnight snack or lunch.

I love this recipe because it is gorgeous and everything except the peppers is in the pantry. This can be assembled in the time it takes to preheat the oven. To make in advance, bake the stuffed peppers without the cheese. Add it when you reheat the peppers.

Tips:

Choose the right bell peppers: Look for bell peppers that are firm, brightly colored, and have smooth skin. Avoid peppers that are bruised or have soft spots.
Prepare the bell peppers properly: Cut the tops off the peppers and remove the seeds and ribs. Rinse the peppers thoroughly and pat them dry.
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 rice cooker or on the stovetop.
Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor and texture to your stuffed peppers. Some good options include onions, carrots, celery, mushrooms, and zucchini.
Don't overstuff the peppers: This will make them difficult to cook evenly. Leave some room at the top of each pepper for the filling to expand.
Bake the stuffed peppers until they are tender: This will usually take about 30 minutes. You can check the peppers by inserting a knife into the center. If the knife comes out clean, the peppers are done.

Conclusion:

Spicy Vegetarian Stuffed Bell Peppers are a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion.
