Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

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.

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables

Time 1h20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 poblano chile pepper, chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 (14 ounce) packages boil-in-bag rice
3 cups vegetable broth
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers
½ cup corn
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 large green bell peppers - tops, seeds, and membranes removed (tops reserved)
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, divided
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons panko bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion, poblano chile pepper, jalapeno pepper, and garlic in the hot oil until onion and peppers are softened, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir rice into onion mixture; cook until rice is lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Stir vegetable broth, tomatoes with green chile peppers, and corn into the rice mixture; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until broth is absorbed, 7 to 10 minutes. Season rice mixture with salt and pepper; stir in 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese and cilantro. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
  • Place the tops back onto each green bell pepper; wrap each pepper loosely with aluminum foil.
  • Bake wrapped peppers in the preheated oven until softened, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove peppers from oven and lower oven's temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cool peppers completely, about 20 minutes.
  • Stand green bell peppers upright in an 8x8-inch baking dish. Use the aluminum foil from earlier to 'nest' the peppers if necessary. Fill each pepper with rice mixture and top with panko bread crumbs and remaining Monterey Jack cheese. Place tops back onto each green bell pepper.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, 25 to 30 minutes.

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.
