Bela'S Stuffed Red Bell Peppers - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1 cup uncooked brown rice
2 1/4 cups water
4 red bell peppers, tops and seeds removed
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/4 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 (15 ounce) can black-eyed peas, rinsed and drained
2 large Swiss chard leaves, chopped
salt and black pepper to taste
Preparation
-
Bring the brown rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, 45 to 50 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
Place the red peppers on the prepared baking sheet, and bake until tender, about 15 minutes.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and cook and stir the onion and garlic until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the black-eyed peas and chard. Bring the mixture to a simmer, and cook until the chard is wilted, 5 to 8 minutes. Mix in the cooked brown rice, sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste, and lightly stuff the mixture into the red peppers. Serve hot.
