Stuffed Red Bell Peppers With Tuna Recipes

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:

• Bring brown rice and water to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, place a cover on the saucepan, and simmer until the rice is tender, about 40 minutes; transfer to a large mixing bowl.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Break ground beef into small pieces and place in the skillet. Add onion, mushrooms, and garlic; cook and stir until the beef is completely browned, 7 to 10 minutes. Mix beef mixture into brown rice.
• Stir tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and Italian seasoning into the rice mixture and season filling with salt and black pepper.
• Arrange bell peppers in a baking dish. Spoon filling into bell peppers.
• Bake in preheated oven until the peppers are tender, about 1 hour. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the stuffed peppers to serve.

Steps:

• Roast the pepper directly over a gas burner or under the broiler, turning often until uniformly charred. Remove from the heat, and place in a bowl. Cover tightly, and allow to cool.
• While you're waiting for the pepper to cool, make the tuna filling. Combine the garlic and a generous pinch of salt in a mortar and pestle, and mash to a paste. Add the anchovy, if using, and mash with the garlic. Add the capers, and mash together. In a bowl, break up the tuna with a fork, then stir in the garlic mixture, the lemon juice, olive oil and the yogurt. Add more yogurt or olive oil if the mixture seems dry. Season to taste with pepper (it should not need salt), and stir in the parsley.
• When the pepper is cool enough to handle, peel and discard the blackened skin, rinse briefly and pat dry. Cut away the top, then cut or pull apart the pepper into thirds. Remove seeds and membranes, holding the pepper over a bowl so that you can catch any juice. Lay the pepper pieces on a plate. Season with a little salt and pepper if desired, and fill with the tuna mixture. Serve.

Steps:

• Slice red pepper in half and remove seeds.
• Fill each half with equal amounts of tuna.
• sprinkle almonds on top of tuna.
• Spread on salsa.
• Cover each pepper with 2 slices of cheese.
• Enjoy!
• You can also heat them up in the microwave until they are warm.

Steps:

• Cut a wide circle around the stems of the peppers; lift off the lids and discard.
• Scoop out and discard seeds and membranes; trim the bottoms of the peppers so they will stand up straight and not tilt over; arrange peppers in a 2 quart casserole dish.
• In a mixing bowl, mix together the rice, tuna, onion, corn, mushrooms, salt, pepper, and paprika to taste.
• Stuff equal amounts of the tuna mixture into the peppers; spoon equal amounts of chopped tomato over the mixture and sprinkle with cheese.
• Pour hot waer around the peppers;.
• Bake in a 350 degree oven for 30-35 minutes or until the tops are golden.
• Carefully lift peppers out of the casserole using a slotted spoon and place on individual plates.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F
• Rub the peppers all over with 2 tablespoons olive oil, season with ½ teaspoon salt and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Roast for 30 minutes or so, turning the peppers occasionally, until their skins are wrinkled and slightly charred.
• Let the peppers cool completely.
• Slice in half (through the stem end), discard the stem, peel off the skin and slice the halves lengthwise into strips 2-inches wide.
• Scrape the seeds from the strips and lay them in a sieve to drain and dry.
• To make the stuffing, drain the tuna, and break it into flakes in a medium-size bowl.
• One at a time, mix the seasonings into the tuna with a fork: chopped anchovies, capers, vinegar, mustard, mayonnaise, parsley, 2 tablespoons olive oil and about ½ teaspoon salt.
• Stir vigorously, breaking up lumps of fish, until the stuffing is soft and fairly smooth.
• Add more of any seasoning to taste.
• Drop a scant tablespoon of stuffing at one end of each roast pepper strip and roll it up snug, creating a neat cylinder.
• Press the pepper as you wrap so it adheres to itself and stays closed.
• To serve, arrange all the rolls on a platter, drizzle a bit more olive oil all over and sprinkle lightly with coarse salt.

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.
