Vegan Wheat Berry-Stuffed Peppers image

This vegan stuffed peppers recipe came about when my friend decided she wanted to eat vegan. It's made from things I (a meat eater) had on hand. It's pretty good! It's open to interpretation, so use it as you like and I hope you enjoy it. Ingredient substitutions are highly encouraged!

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup wheat berries
6 whole green bell peppers, stemmed and seeded, or more to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, diced small
2 carrots, peeled and diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon curry powder, or more to taste
1 teaspoon dried thyme
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (16 ounce) can whole berry cranberry sauce
½ cup finely chopped walnuts
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley, or as needed

Steps:

  • Place wheat berries in a pot; cover with 2 inches water. Bring to a boil. Cover and simmer until tender, about 40 minutes. Drain.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Pour about 1 inch water in a microwave-safe dish with a cover. Stand the peppers upright; cover and microwave on high for 5 minutes. Drain.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and garlic; cook and stir until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add curry powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss mixture with the cooked wheat berries; add a small amount of water if filling seems dry. Add cranberry sauce, walnuts, and parsley; stir to combine.
  • Stuff the peppers with the filling and place in a casserole. Cover with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until peppers are tender and heated through, about 30 minutes.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my stuffed peppers turned out mushy. I think I overcooked them.

The filling was a little dry. I would have added more sauce or broth to make it more moist.
