Spicy Stuffed Bell Peppers (Vegetarian/Vegan/Gluten-Free) image

With hearty lentils, brown rice, and vegetables, as well as some sassy seasonings, nobody will miss the meat in this recipe I created for company. I served them with a side of sweet potato fries and watermelon for dessert. Any extra filling makes an excellent midnight snack or lunch.

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 bell peppers (any color)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 -2 fresh jalapeno pepper, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
1/2 cup brown rice
1/2 cup lentils
2 cups vegetable broth or 2 cups water
2 teaspoons garam masala
2 tablespoons Braggs liquid aminos (gluten-free if required for diet) or 2 tablespoons soy sauce, divided (gluten-free if required for diet)

Steps:

  • Sautee onion, jalapeno, and garlic in oil until onion just starts to turn clear. Add carrots and cook another minute or two. Add rice, lentils, and liquid. Turn heat up to high. Stir in garam masala and 1 tablespoon of the Braggs. Bring to a boil. Then cover and reduce heat. Simmer for 40-50 minutes or until rice and lentils are tender.
  • Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut tops off of bell peppers and clean seeds out from inside. Submerge in boiling water for 3-5 minutes. Place in a shallow baking dish.
  • Mix tomato paste, remaining Braggs, and ketchup in a small bowl. Add a little warm water to thin to the consistency of a thick sauce.
  • When lentil/rice mixture is cooked, stir in corn and peas. Scoop mixture into bell peppers. Spoon tomato sauce on top of each and bake for about 20 minutes or until peppers are slightly tender and tomato sauce is dark.

These peppers were a bit too expensive to make. I think I would try a different recipe next time.

These peppers were a bit too mushy for my taste. I think I would cook them for a shorter amount of time next time.
