Description
Did ancient Greeks invent comfort food? Maybe not, but these Greek Stuffed Peppers sure feel like it.
Ingredients
- 6 large or 8 small bell peppers (any color you love)
- 1 large onion, diced
- 3 small zucchinis, peeled and diced
- 3 medium carrots, peeled and diced
- 1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
- 3 cups cooked brown rice
- 5 tablespoons tomato paste
- 3/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 3/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon Herbamare or salt (Herbamare is prepared with 1/3 less salt, infused with fresh organic herbs and vegetables)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C.
- Grab a deep baking dish and get ready to make some magic.
- Prep the peppers. Slice around the stem, like you’re carving a mini pumpkin, and keep those tops!
- Scoop out the seeds, then give the peppers a quick rinse and pat them dry.
- Stand them up in your baking dish and pop the tops back on for now.
- Bake the peppers. Slide them into the oven for 30 minutes to soften up while you work on the stuffing.
- Sauté the veggies. Heat a large nonstick pan and toss in the onion, zucchini, and carrots with the vegetable broth. Let them cook for about 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they’re nice and tender.
- Mix the stuffing. Stir in the cooked rice and tomato paste, making sure everything is well-coated. Then add the parsley, dill, lemon juice, pepper, and Herbamare (or salt). Give it all a good mix—this is where the flavor really comes together.
- Fill the peppers. Once the peppers are out of the oven, take off the tops and stuff them generously with the rice mixture. Don’t be shy; pack it in!
- Bake again. Put the tops back on and bake for another 30–40 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and slightly roasted around the edges.
