VEGAN STUFFED RED PEPPERS

VEGAN STUFFED PEPPERS

My favorite thing to make for dinner in the summer  is stuffed vegetables and obviously peppers are epically nice for this.  You can use pretty much anything that grows in the ground for this recipe. These peppers are packed with a whole lot of herbs and veggies like chives,tomato, thyme, and celery. There is nothing like the taste of fresh veggies that came from the farmers market or your own garden. These make the perfect summer dinner just add a side salad.

Vegetarian, Gluten-Free and Delicious!

Try to cut off the pepper tops as evenly as possible

Use assorted colors or whatever kind of peppers you like, I like to change it up

These are from the Farmer's Market

Stuff the peppers tight and full for maximum density

Directions:

1. Cook rice in rice cooker or pot adding 2 1/2c. of Vegetable Broth, until all water is absorbed.

2. Take peppers and gently cut off tops, and clean out seeds from inside, being careful not to tear sides. 

3. In a bowl mix cooked rice, chives, thyme, olive oil, salt, onion, celery, and tomato

4. Spoon mixture into peppers till almost filled to the top

5. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 min, or until peppers are soft

*You can use a smoked basmati rice for this recipe to give it a flavor boast. Buy smoked basmati at Middle Eastern stores, I like the brand Scheherazade

Add some beans to your rice mixture and cook same as above!
