Nick'S Feta And Artichoke Stuffed Peppers - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup brown rice
1 cup water
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 green onions, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 (12 ounce) jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1 large tomato, diced
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 large red bell peppers, tops and seeds removed
8 teaspoons crumbled feta cheese, divided

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Bring rice and water to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, 45 to 50 minutes.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat; cook and stir green onions and garlic until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add artichoke hearts, tomato, basil, red pepper flakes, and black pepper. Cook and stir artichoke mixture until heated through, about 5 minutes. Stir in rice and remove from heat.
Crumble about 1 teaspoon feta cheese into the bottom of each red bell pepper. Spoon rice mixture into each red bell pepper to fill halfway. Crumble another teaspoon feta cheese over filling; top with more filling. Place red bell peppers in a glass baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven until feta cheese has melted and red bell peppers are slightly tender, about 15 minutes.
