Categories     Main Course

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium yellow onion (chopped)
2 jalapeno peppers (chopped)
4 cloves garlic (chopped)
3/4 cups long grain rice
12 ounces fire roasted tomatoes ((I used a store bought can))
1.5 cups vegetable broth (+ more as needed)
½ cup frozen corn (- or fresh corn if you can get it!)
½ cup frozen peas
1 tablespoon Cajun seasonings
1 teaspoon cayenne powder
½ teaspoon cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
1-2 tablespoons favorite hot sauce ((If Desired for Extra Spiciness))
1 cup shredded cheese ((Cheddar is good, or Colby or Pepper Jack))
4 bell peppers
Hot Sauce, spicy chili flakes, fresh chopped herbs for serving

Steps:

  • Get the rice going. Heat a large pan to medium heat and add olive oil.
  • Add onion and jalapeno peppers and cook about 5 minutes to soften.
  • Add garlic and cook another minute, until you can smell the yummy garlic.
  • Add the rice and stir. Cook for a couple minutes, stirring, to very lightly brown the rice.
  • Add the fire roasted tomatoes and vegetable broth. Stir.
  • Add corn, peas, Cajun seasonings, cayenne, cumin, salt and pepper, and hot sauce if using. Stir and bring to a quick boil.
  • Reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice has absorbed all of the liquid and is softened to your liking. If it needs more cooking, add a bit more broth and keep it simmering until you LOVE it.
  • While the rice is cooking, bring a large pot of water to a boil.
  • Slice the tops off of the bell peppers and remove the innards. Boil them about 5 minutes to slightly soften.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Mix the rice and shredded cheese together and stuff each pepper full. You may have extra stuffing, depending on the size of your peppers.
  • Bake on a large baking sheet for 30-40 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and top with your favorite hot sauce, fresh chopped herbs and spicy chili flakes.

CHILLI-STUFFED PEPPERS WITH FETA TOPPING



Chilli-stuffed peppers with feta topping image

A satisfying vegetarian supper that packs in 4 of your 5-a-day. Stuff peppers with cream cheese, beans, aubergine and feta

Provided by Sara Buenfeld

Categories     Main course, Starter

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 large peppers , halved, deseeded but stalks left on
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
400g can chopped tomato
1 red onion , halved and sliced
1 garlic clove , finely grated
1 red chilli , deseeded and finely chopped
1 small aubergine , cut into small cubes
220g can kidney bean (don't drain them)
small bunch coriander , chopped
1 large egg
25g low-fat feta cheese , finely grated
50g low-fat fromage frais
2 handfuls rocket
lime wedges, for squeezing over

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Place the pepper halves in a shallow baking dish, skin-side up, and roast for 15-20 mins.
  • Meanwhile, tip the spices into a pan and warm briefly to release their flavour. Tip in the tomatoes and stir in the onion, garlic, chilli, aubergine and kidney beans with their juice. Cover the pan and cook for 20 mins, stirring occasionally. Try not to add any extra liquid; the mixture should be quite dry. Stir in the coriander.
  • Meanwhile, beat the egg with the feta and fromage frais. Turn the peppers over and pile the aubergine mixture into each one, packing it down as much as you can. Top with the feta mixture and return to the oven for 10 mins more until the topping has lightly set. Don't worry if some of it flows off, as it will just set in the dish. Serve the peppers on the rocket with lime wedges for squeezing over.
