Italian sausage and feta cheese give zest to the rice filling in these tender peppers I've prepared often over the years. When I was married in 1970, slow cookers were the rage. In our home, it's one appliance that's never gone out of style. -Judy Earl, Sarasota, Florida

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Pasta and Grains     Rice Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup pine nuts
4 small tomatoes, cored, seeded, and sliced 1/2 inch thick
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
3/4 cup raisins
1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (from about 2 oranges)
6 medium yellow bell peppers, plus 1 yellow pepper, cored, seeded and finely chopped
2 cups water
1 cup white rice
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small white onion, finely chopped
2 medium shallots, finely chopped
3 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves removed and stems reserved
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh chervil, plus 3 sprigs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread pine nuts in single layer on a small baking sheet. Bake until golden and aromatic, 8 to 12 minutes. Shake the pan halfway through baking to make sure nuts toast evenly.
  • Line a baking pan that's just large enough to hold the peppers with the tomato slices. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Combine raisins and orange juice in a small bowl. Let stand until raisins are plumped, about 15 minutes.
  • Using a sharp knife, cut around the stems of six of the peppers. Core and seed the peppers, reserving the stems. Set aside.
  • Bring 2 cups water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add the rice, and simmer, covered, until rice is just a little undercooked, about 15 minutes.
  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and shallots, and cook until translucent, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the finely chopped pepper and the plumped raisins. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the thyme leaves, basil, chervil, and pine nuts, stirring to combine. Stir in the cooked rice.
  • Fill each pepper with one sixth of the rice mixture. Place reserved pepper stems on top of each pepper. Top the tomatoes with the reserved thyme stems. Fit the peppers into the baking dish, and place the chervil sprigs between them. Cover with parchment paper-lined aluminum foil, and bake for 50 minutes. Uncover, and continue to bake until peppers are tender and rice is heated through, about 10 minutes.

Tips:

  • Select the Right Peppers: For this recipe, bell peppers with a firm texture and vibrant color are ideal. Look for peppers that are free from blemishes and bruises.
  • Marinate the Chicken: Marinating the chicken in a flavorful blend of spices and yogurt helps tenderize the meat and infuses it with rich flavors. Be sure to marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or longer for deeper flavors.
  • Cook the Chicken Thoroughly: Properly cooking the chicken is crucial to ensure food safety. Cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) as measured with a meat thermometer.
  • Prepare the Shawarma Filling: Use a food processor to finely chop the chicken, vegetables, and herbs for the shawarma filling. This will ensure an even distribution of ingredients and a cohesive filling.
  • Stuff the Peppers Carefully: When stuffing the peppers, be gentle to avoid tearing the pepper walls. Use a spoon or your hands to carefully pack the shawarma filling into the peppers, ensuring they are evenly filled.
  • Bake the Stuffed Peppers: Bake the stuffed peppers in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for approximately 30-35 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the filling is heated through.
  • Serve with accompaniments: Serve the shawarma-stuffed peppers with a dollop of yogurt, tahini sauce, or hummus. You can also add a side of rice, quinoa, or pita bread for a complete meal.

The Shawarma Stuffed Peppers recipe is a delightful fusion of Middle Eastern flavors and textures. It combines the savory taste of shawarma with the vibrant colors and crunch of bell peppers.
