STUFFED GREEN PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Add about 2 inches of water to a large pot fitted with a steamer insert, and bring to a high simmer. Arrange the peppers in the steamer, cover the pot and cook, rotating the peppers as needed, until they are very tender and pliable, about 25 minutes. Remove the peppers with a slotted spoon, and drain upside-down on paper towels.
• Put the oil, onions and a pinch of salt in a large skillet over medium heat, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and translucent, about 8 minutes. Raise the heat to medium-high. Add the beef, garlic, 2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper, and cook, stirring and breaking the beef up, until browned and mostly cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, bring to a simmer, then remove from the heat. Let cool in the skillet for at least 10 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl, add the rice, parsley, 1 cup of the mozzarella, breadcrumbs, eggs and Worcestershire and mix to combine.
• Stand the peppers up in a 9-by-13 inch baking dish. If they fall over, cut away a little of the bottoms (without cutting through the pepper) to make a flat surface.
• Generously fill and pack the peppers with the meat-rice mixture. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella. Add just enough water to the pan to cover the bottom to help steam the peppers. Loosely cover with foil, and bake until the peppers are tender and the filling is heated through, about 30 minutes. Remove the foil, and continue to bake for 10 minutes more.

STUFFED PEPPERS ON STOVE TOP

Steps:

• First boil water in a large pot because we will be cooking our peppers for a few minutes before filling them. I'm using 2 red and 2 green bell peppers. I like to cut them in half lengthwise and fill them, they cook faster this way. Take all the seeds and pith out. Leaving the stem on is pretty for presentation. Put the peppers in boiling water and cook for 5 minutes. Drain and set aside
• Next, we'll make a quick tomato sauce. Heat up a pan and pour in 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, ½ tsp Italian seasoning, crush it in your hands, ¼ tsp red chili flakes for a little heat, mix this just for a few seconds. Add 2 cups of tomato sauce. Add ¼ tsp salt and 1 tsp sugar. Bring this to a boil and let it simmer, just for 5 minutes. Taste and add more salt or sugar if necessary. Turn the heat off and set it aside.
• Now we'll cook the meat. Heat up a pan and add 3 tablespoons olive oil. I'm adding 1.5 cups of chopped onion and 5 large garlic cloves or 2 tablespoons. A little salt. Sautee this until golden brown. Add ½ tsp dried oregano, crush it in your palms, ½ tsp dried thyme leaves, 1 tsp paprika, Stir that for a few seconds. Add ¼ tsp of red chili flakes. Add the meat, I'm using 1 pound of ground turkey. You can use chicken or any other ground meat you'd like. ½ tsp salt. Mix this really well and let it cook. Make sure to break up the meat once in a while. While the meat is cooking, I'm grating 1 large potato peeled. 1.5 cups of grated potatoes. Once the meat is cooked, add the potatoes, ½ tsp salt and a pinch or two of chili flakes. Stir and cook for 5 minutes. Adjust the salt according to your taste. After 5 minutes, pour in 1 cup of the sauce and ¼ cup of grated parmesan cheese. Turn off the heat and mix well.
• Get a large pan that will fit all of the peppers. Pour in ½ cup of the remaining sauce and a few tablespoons of water. That should cover the bottom of the pan. Put the peppers in. Stuff each pepper with the meat mixture. Turn the heat on. Pour the remaining half cup of sauce over the peppers. You'll start to hear the peppers pop a little, the liquid on the bottom of the pan has started boiling, turn down the heat to medium low, put a cover on and cook for about 30 minutes. Check after 15 minutes and adjust the heat if you need to. After 30 minutes, check the filling, the potatoes should be cooked. The peppers will be tender but not completely falling apart. You can cook this longer or shorter depending on how firm you like the peppers. You can add more parmesan on top before serving. If you want to add shredded cheese like cheddar or mozzarella, you can do that and put the cover on just to melt the cheese.
