Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients
1 8- to 10-ounce bag microwavable brown rice or 1 2/3 cups cooked brown rice
4 medium-to-large bell peppers, tops cut off and seeded
1 pound lean (90% or leaner) ground beef
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup currants
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 1/2 cups low-sodium vegetable juice, such as V8, divided
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint, plus more for garnish
1 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • 30 mins total 30 mins prep Directions 1. Heat rice according to package directions. (If using cooked rice, skip to Step 2.) 2. Place peppers upside-down in a microwave-safe round casserole dish just large enough to fit them. Add 1/2 inch water to the dish and cover with a lid or inverted dinner plate. Microwave on High until the peppers are tender but still hold their shape, 3 to 6 minutes. Drain the water and turn the peppers right-side up. 3. Meanwhile, cook beef and garlic in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, breaking up the beef with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, 4 to 6 minutes. Stir in currants, cumin and cinnamon; cook for 1 minute. Stir in the rice and cook for 30 seconds more. Remove from the heat and stir in 1/2 cup vegetable juice, cup mint, orange zest, salt and pepper. 4. Spoon the beef mixture into the peppers. Pour the remaining 2 cups vegetable juice into the dish and cover. Microwave on High until the juice and filling are hot, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve the peppers with the sauce; garnish with mint, if desired.

These stuffed peppers were easy to make and they turned out great! I used ground turkey instead of beef, and I added some chopped spinach to the filling. They were a hit with my family, and I will definitely be making them again.

I'm not a big fan of bell peppers, but I decided to try this recipe anyway. I was pleasantly surprised! The peppers were stuffed with a delicious mixture of ground beef, rice, and spices. I served them with a side of couscous, and it was a great meal

I followed the recipe exactly and the peppers turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a little more salt to the filling. Other than that, they were perfect.
