This is super easy, something you can play around with and it's really flavorful. To make this for two people:
Ingredients:
- 2 red bell peppers
- 1/2 of a white onion
- 1/4 cup of chopped carrots
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 tomato
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Parmesan Cheese
- Salt/Pepper
- Marinara spaghetti sauce (or other favorite spaghetti sauce, such as arabiatta)
- Brown rice or cous cous (I really like Near East Roasted Garlic & Olive Oil, which can be found at Whole Foods and most larger grocery stores)
Directions:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees
- Prepare brown rice or cous cous according to instructions on package
- Finely chop the garlic, tomato, onion and carrots & sauté everything except the tomato them until the onion is soft (about 5 minutes) in approximately 2 tablespoons of olive oil. About one minute before you are finished sautéing everything, add in the tomato.
- Cut open and clean the red peppers.
- Boil water and steam the red peppers for approximately 5 minutes (covered) or until a knife easily goes into a pepper. If you do not have a steamer, you can place the peppers in the oven at 350 degrees for approximately 7 minutes to soften them. Again, check the peppers with a knife.
- While the peppers are cooking, add the cooked cous cous or rice to the vegetable mix. Continue cooking on low and add 2 tablespoons of spaghetti sauce (or your desired amount for flavor) and mix all of the flavors together.
- Stuff the peppers with the rice (or cous cous) vegetable mix & incorporate as much parmesan cheese sas you would like.
- Cook the stuffed pepper in the oven (at 350 degrees) for 5 minutes.
If you are a meat eater, you could add ground beef to the recipe.
Enjoy & apologies for the pictures - they were taken with my phone and do not do the food justice - it is actually really good!
