Provided by dicentra

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h15m

Yield 3-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 cup spinach, washed and torn
1 teaspoon mild curry powder
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
8 tablespoons canned chopped tomatoes, including juice
2 tablespoons tomato puree
2 ounces breadcrumbs
1 (14 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and roughly hand-chopped (garbanzo beans)
4 tablespoons chopped roasted sweet bell peppers (optional)
3 medium bell peppers, halved and hollowed out for stuffing

Steps:

  • Heat a wide heavy-based frying pan over medium heat. Add the oil and heat for 10 seconds or so, then add the onion and fry, stirring occasionally, until well-softened.
  • Tip in the spinach, sprinkle over the curry powder, raise the heat and stir, toss and fry until the liquid has mostly cooked out of the spinach and it is collapsed but still moist. Transfer to a large bowl.
  • Add the garlic, tomatoes, vegetable or tomato puree, breadcrumbs, chickpeas and peppers.
  • Season with salt and black pepper and mix well; it should be reasonably moist but not dripping. Stuff the filling firmly into the pepper halves, mounding up on top.
  • Bake in a low-sided dish at 400F for about an hour, turning the dish around once and lowering the heat towards the end if the peppers are getting too browned. This length of time makes the peppers deliciously soft - if you like them firmer, reduce the time.

Categories     Stuffed Bell Peppers

Time 40m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil, divided
1/4 (1-pound) package Jimmy Dean Premium Pork Sausage
¼ cup diced mushrooms
1 cup pre-cooked white rice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 pound mini bell peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • In a small frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat for about 30 seconds. Add Jimmy Dean sausage and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until browned, stirring frequently to break up the sausage into small pieces, then drain. Remove the sausage and set aside.
  • To the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and reduce heat to medium. Add diced mushrooms and saute for about 5 minutes, until mushrooms are softened and brown.
  • In a bowl, mix the sausage and mushrooms with the rice and parsley, and 1/2 cup of the mozzarella. Season to taste, and fill each bell pepper halfway with the mixture.
  • Top each pepper with additional cheese, and bake for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Carefully remove the peppers from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • For a vegetarian filling, omit the ground beef and add an extra cup of cooked chickpeas.
  • To make the filling ahead of time, cook the ground beef and chickpeas and let them cool completely. Then, store the filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To make the mini peppers easier to stuff, cut them in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and ribs.
  • If you don't have any toothpicks, you can use small skewers to hold the mini peppers together.
  • For a crispy topping, sprinkle some Panko breadcrumbs on top of the mini peppers before baking.

Conclusion:

These Garbanzo Stuffed Mini Peppers are a delicious and easy appetizer or snack that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover ground beef and chickpeas. With their flavorful filling and crispy topping, these mini peppers are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
