SHAWARMA STUFFED PEPPERS



Shawarma Stuffed Peppers image

These stuffed peppers are inspired by the flavors of one of my all-time favorite street foods, shawarma. Shawarma is a Middle Eastern dish consisting of seasoned meat cooked on a spit and then shaved thin. The spice combination typically found in shawarma is savory, warm and totally addictive!

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons olive oil or canola oil
1 yellow onion, chopped
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 teaspoons Shawarma Seasoning, homemade (recipe follows) or store-bought
1 pound ground turkey
1 cup cooked basmati rice or 1 cup cauliflower rice
One 14-ounce can diced tomatoes
4 large or 6 small bell peppers
1/4 cup tahini
1 lemon
Fresh herbs (such as cilantro, parsley or mint), for serving
2 tablespoons garam masala
2 tablespoons curry powder
1 tablespoon powdered chicken bouillon
2 teaspoons ground turmeric

Steps:

  • In a large skillet or pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring, until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the Shawarma Seasoning and cook for another minute. Add the ground turkey and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few turns of black pepper. Brown the turkey, breaking it up with a wooden spoon or spatula. When it's all cooked through and no longer pink, reduce the heat to low.
  • If you're using cauliflower rice, microwave it (covered in a bowl or in the bag it came in if the package says that it's okay) for 3 minutes. Add the basmati rice or cauliflower rice to the skillet and stir in the tomatoes. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired.
  • Cut off the tops of the bell peppers, core them and place them in a casserole dish. Fill the peppers with the turkey mixture and then bake for 35 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the tahini sauce. Stir together the tahini, 3 tablespoons cold water
  • water, 1 tablespoon lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste until smooth. When the peppers are done, squeeze them with additional lemon juice, top with a nice big blob of tahini sauce and a pile of fresh herbs. Enjoy!
  • Combine the garam masala, curry powder, powdered chicken bouillon and turmeric in a small bowl and whisk together. Store in an airtight container.
