Belas Stuffed Red Bell Peppers Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large non-stick skillet, Lightly brown beef and onion. Turn heat to low and add seasonings and cook until beef is completely browned. Remove from heat and stir in spinach.
• Wash bell peppers and remove tops, cores and seeds. Stuff each pepper with 1/2 to 2/3 cup of beef mixture. Put peppers in glass baking dish and pour 2 tbsp water into the bottom. Cover with foil and bake for 50 minutes.
• Remove stuffed peppers from oven and take off foil. Turn up oven to 400 degrees. Cook peppers for additional 10 minutes. Allow to cool somewhat before serving.

Steps:

• Cut tops off peppers. With sharp knife, remove white membrane inside peppers. Wash and pat dry.
• Arrange peppers in baking pan. If one is uneven, slice a bit off the bottom to allow it to stand freely.
• Brown ground beef with onions and garlic.
• Add seasonings, tomatoes, and rice. Blend well. If too soupy, cook until some juice is cooked off.
• Stuff peppers.
• Bake 350 for 45 minutes.

Steps:

• For the peppers: Preheat a broiler. Arrange the peppers in a single layer on a heavy baking sheet. Broil, turning the peppers every 3 to 4 minutes, until charred on all sides. Place the peppers in a resealable plastic bag for 15 minutes.
• Gently scrape off the burnt skin, being careful not to tear the flesh. Lay each pepper on the work surface. Using a paring knife, remove a 1/2-inch-wide strip of flesh from the side of each pepper to create an opening. Chop the strips of pepper into 1/2-inch pieces and reserve for the filling. Using a small spoon, remove the seeds from inside each pepper.
• Position a rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, combine the reserved chopped peppers, the corn, green onions, corn chips, chicken, basil, lime juice, salt and pepper; toss to blend. Mix in the cheese. Divide the filling among the peppers (about 2/3 cup each), packing gently and mounding at the opening. Arrange the peppers in a 13- by 9- by 2-inch baking dish. Pour the chicken broth around the peppers. Bake until peppers are heated through, 25 to 30 minutes.
• For the sauce: Spoon the avocado flesh into a food processor. Add the oil, lime juice, salt and pepper. Blend until smooth.
• To serve: Spoon a circle of sauce in the center of 6 plates. Place the peppers on the sauce and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cut the tops off the peppers. Remove and discard the stems, then finely chop the tops; set aside. Scoop out the seeds and as much of the membrane as you can. Place the peppers cut-side up in a baking dish just large enough to hold them upright.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef, season with salt and pepper and cook, breaking up the lumps, until the meat is cooked through and just beginning to brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to get rid of the fat.
• Wipe out the skillet and add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the onions and chopped peppers and cook until beginning to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and zucchini and cook for another minute. Add the tomatoes and season with salt and a pinch or 2 of red pepper flakes. Cook until everything is heated through, then stir in the beef and rice. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Stir in 1 cup of the cheese.
• Fill the peppers with the rice mixture and top each with a sprinkle of the remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Pour a small amount of water into the bottom of the baking dish and drizzle the peppers with a little olive oil. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until the peppers are soft and the cheese is melted and lightly browned, another 15 to 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Salt, pepper, chopped fresh parsley, minced garlic for taste. Wash the peppers and dry them very well.
• Cut each one into two pieces (longitudinally). Get out all the seeds and any white part. Preheat oven.
• FILLING: Put the bread in a cup with the milk.
• Wait until the bread absorb all the liquid it can.
• Then squeeze it; only the humid bread without liquid will be used.
• Aside, put in a bowl the ground beef, the very finely chopped onion, the minced garlic and the parsley.
• Mix all very well.
• Add the humid bread cut in small pieces; put enough salt and pepper.
• Fill the peppers halves.
• Sprinkle each one with grated dried bread.
• Put them on a shell with a thin oil layer.
• Cook in the oven for about 30-40 minutes until the peppers are tender and the cover (the grated bread) gold brown.
• Bon appetit! The same filling can be used to stuff zucchini and aubergines, for instance. These ones must be cooked previously in salted boiling water (already cut in halves). Then you have to empty each half with a tablespoon, taking care of not damaging the skin.
• Part of the fruit retired (and chopped) can be mixed in the filling.
• I hope you like these ideas.

Steps:

• Place the couscous and boiling water in a large bowl, cover and let the couscous sit for 15 minutes.
• Fluff the couscous with a fork, then let it cool to room temperature.
• Meanwhile, slice the tops off the whole peppers.
• Core, seed, wash and drain the peppers.
• If necessary, slice a little off the bottoms of the peppers so they will sit on a plate without falling over.
• Combine the diced peppers, scallions, zucchini and cooled couscous in a large mixing bowl.
• In a small bowl, combine the lime juice, olive oil and dill and mix well.
• Pour the dressing over the couscous mixture and toss to coat.
• Spoon one-sixth of the couscous mixture into each cored pepper.
• Cover the peppers with plastic wrap and chill until needed.
