Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

four 1/2-pound whole green or red bell peppers plus 1/4 cup minced red bell pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 tomato, peeled, seeded, and chopped

Bake the stuffed peppers in an oiled baking dish, covered, in a preheated 325°F. oven for 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender, and serve them with the lemon wedges.
