MR. JOHN'S MEAT-STUFFED BELL PEPPERS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large pot of boiling water, parboil the peppers until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and dry on paper towels.
- In a large saute pan or skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and chopped bell peppers and cook, stirring, until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the beef, pork, garlic, parsley, salt, black pepper, and pepper flakes. Cook until the meat is browned, stirring with a heavy wooden spoon to break up the lumps, about 6 minutes. Add the rice and tomato sauce and stir well. Remove from the heat and adjust the seasoning, to taste.
- Pour enough water into a baking dish to just cover the bottom, about 1/8-inch deep. Stuff the bell peppers with the rice mixture and place in the baking dish. Bake until the peppers are very tender and the filling is heated through, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

This recipe's roots can be traced back to the Great Depression, when farmers first began selling the unripe peppers out of necessity. Of course, we did what Americans always do when faced with a new variety of food, we stuffed meat in it.

CHEF JOHN'S STUFFED PEPPERS
Wow. These are terrific. I've never made stuffed peppers before, but I was not disappointed with this recipe. I'm glad I made some extra filling so I can make it again very soon. I used turkey and a spicy sausage, but I'll post the recipe as written. My rice was a wild rice, but any rice will work fine. Recipe courtesy of www.allrecipes.com.
