Ingredients
Scale
- 3 green peppers
- 1 brown mushroom (or white)
- ±1/2 Small zucchini
- 1/4 Small piece of carrot (I used what I had left)
- 1 medium potato
- 2 green spring onions
- ±1/4 cup sharp grated cheddar cheese (you can also use vegan cheese if you prefer)
- 2 eggs (if vegan, substitute with ± 1/4 cup GF Flour)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- 3 tbsp coarse dry breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Grate all ingredients separately.
- Add grated potatoes to a bowl of water for 5-10 minutes. Drain and remove excess water.
- In a large bowl mix the zucchini (make sure to remove excess liquid), carrot, cheese, eggs, salt, and pepper.
- Wash and cut off the top of the pepper and discard and clean out the inside of the pepper. Remove the seeds and the ribs as best as possible.
- Divide the veggie mixture into roughly six portions, then fill half of each pepper, and set aside. Now you used half the mixture.
- Chop the mushroom in small pieces as well as the spring onion (I use the leaves as well) and sauté in a pan with butter until slightly soft.
- Divide this mixture into three and spoon on top of the first scoop of veggie mixture.
- Fill up the peppers with the remainder of the veggie mixture.
- Make sure to use all the egg mixture as it may separate in the bowl. Spoon some into each pepper.
- Top each pepper with some breadcrumbs.
- Place in an ovenproof dish and bake at 350F for 45-60 minutes until done.
- Be careful not to poke a hole in the peppers as the egg mixture may seep out, but do not worry should it happen.
- To serve: Cut pepper in half and serve piping hot.
Notes
- We enjoyed these Gluten-Free Carrot Zucchini Green Pepper Cups with BBQ sauce pork ribs baked in the oven and it was outstandingly delicious.
- I did not have a recipe; this is my own creation.
- The filling is enough for 3 peppers.
- I used what I had available and it turned out super delicious, so much so that my husband asked that I make sure to write down what I did as he said I needed to make it again.
