Time 1h20m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 ½ cups water
½ cup barley
2 large bell peppers
1 cup reduced-fat vegetarian refried beans (such as Ortega®)
1 pinch ground black pepper
¼ cup shredded mozzarella-style vegan cheese (such as Daiya®), or to taste

Steps:

  • Bring water and barley to a boil in a pot over high heat. Cover and reduce heat to a simmer. Let simmer until most of the water is absorbed, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add bell peppers, cover, and steam until just tender, about 5 minutes. Rinse peppers under cold water. Cut off the tops and reserve to cover filled peppers.
  • Remove barley from heat and keep covered for 5 to 10 more minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Transfer barley to a large bowl and mix in refried beans. Sprinkle in black pepper and mix well. Stuff the peppers with the barley and refried beans mixture. Arrange peppers in a small baking dish and sprinkle vegan cheese over the filling. Cover with the reserved tops.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until centers are very hot, about 30 minutes. Let cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. The quinoa filling was dry and the bell peppers were undercooked. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had added more spices and used a different type of cheese.

These stuffed bell peppers were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. The bell peppers were cooked perfectly and the filling was flavorful. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had used a milder chili powder.
