One of my favorite meals when I was younger was a recipe my mother made called Quick Chili Rice Casserole. I put a Greek spin on it and stuffed it in a pepper. It works great paired with a garden salad and fresh bread. -Sacha Morgan, Woodstock, Georgia

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
1 pound mini sweet bell peppers
4 cloves garlic
8 ounces feta, crumbled
2 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 pepperoncini peppers, stemmed, plus 1 tablespoon reserved juice
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped, plus extra for garnish
1 teaspoon dried oregano

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a Bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray. Wrap a 3-foot piece of foil around the center of the pan, scooting it down as best you can.
  • Cut the tops off the peppers and hollow out the centers to remove the membranes and seeds. Using a small spoon is easiest. Set aside.
  • Add the garlic to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add the feta, cream cheese, oil, pepperoncini and juice. Pulse until it is a smooth mixture. Sprinkle in the parsley and oregano, then pulse a few more times until blended. Spoon the cheese mixture into the hollowed peppers.
  • Arrange the peppers so that they are standing up nestled side-by-side in a single layer in the prepared Bundt pan. Bake until the cheese mixture is golden, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle with parsley. Let cool slightly before eating, or serve at room temperature.

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Stuffed Main Dish Recipes     Stuffed Bell Pepper Recipes

Time 1h25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 green peppers, tops and seeds removed
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound ground turkey
1 white onion, chopped
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 ½ teaspoons ground black pepper
1 (15.5 ounce) can sweet corn, drained
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
1 ½ teaspoons ground thyme
1 ½ teaspoons dried rosemary
1 tablespoon crushed fennel seeds
1 cup water
⅓ cup white rice
¼ cup sweet barbeque sauce
1 cup crumbled feta cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Arrange the bell peppers in a casserole dish with the cavities facing upwards.
  • Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook the turkey in the hot oil until completely browned, about 5 minutes. Stir the onion into the turkey; season with salt and pepper. Cook and stir the mixture for 3 minutes. Add the corn, tomatoes, thyme, rosemary, and fennel to the turkey; stir. Pour the water over the mixture and add the rice; mix. Bring the mixture to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until the rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Stir the barbeque sauce through the mixture; remove the skillet from the heat.
  • Spoon enough of the turkey mixture to fill each of the bell peppers about 1/3 of the way full. Divide about half of the feta cheese among the peppers, creating a layer of cheese atop the turkey mixture. Fill the peppers with the remaining turkey mixture and top with the remaining feta cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the peppers are tender, about 45 minutes.

CHILLI-STUFFED PEPPERS WITH FETA TOPPING



Chilli-stuffed peppers with feta topping image

A satisfying vegetarian supper that packs in 4 of your 5-a-day. Stuff peppers with cream cheese, beans, aubergine and feta

Provided by Sara Buenfeld

Categories     Main course, Starter

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 large peppers , halved, deseeded but stalks left on
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
400g can chopped tomato
1 red onion , halved and sliced
1 garlic clove , finely grated
1 red chilli , deseeded and finely chopped
1 small aubergine , cut into small cubes
220g can kidney bean (don't drain them)
small bunch coriander , chopped
1 large egg
25g low-fat feta cheese , finely grated
50g low-fat fromage frais
2 handfuls rocket
lime wedges, for squeezing over

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Place the pepper halves in a shallow baking dish, skin-side up, and roast for 15-20 mins.
  • Meanwhile, tip the spices into a pan and warm briefly to release their flavour. Tip in the tomatoes and stir in the onion, garlic, chilli, aubergine and kidney beans with their juice. Cover the pan and cook for 20 mins, stirring occasionally. Try not to add any extra liquid; the mixture should be quite dry. Stir in the coriander.
  • Meanwhile, beat the egg with the feta and fromage frais. Turn the peppers over and pile the aubergine mixture into each one, packing it down as much as you can. Top with the feta mixture and return to the oven for 10 mins more until the topping has lightly set. Don't worry if some of it flows off, as it will just set in the dish. Serve the peppers on the rocket with lime wedges for squeezing over.
