Spicy Tri-Color Vegetarian Stuffed Bell Peppers - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons cumin
2 small purple onions, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (300 g) package frozen vegetarian ground beef (one bag of Quorn mince or one box of Boca meatless ground burger will do the trick)
12 ounces frozen whole kernel corn
1 teaspoon coriander
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper (you can adjust this to your preference)
2 teaspoons salt
3/4 cup water
1 1/2 cups white rice, prepared
1 cup shredded mild cheddar cheese, divided
3 bell peppers, cut in half lengthwise, seeds removed (1 each red, yellow and green bell pepper)
1/2 cup water
Preparation
-
Preheat oven to 400\u00b0F Heat olive oil in large skillet and then add cumin, garlic and onion; saute until tender. Mix ground burger, corn, spices and 3/4 cup water in; cook on medium heat 5 minutes or until heated through, stirring frequently. If mixture seems dry and sticks to skillet, you can add more water, up to 1/2 cup. Remove from heat. Add prepared rice and 1/2 cup of the cheese and mix thoroughly.
Spoon mixture evenly into pepper halves and place in 13x9-inch pan. Pour 1/2 cup water into pan (this will ensure that the peppers are tenderly cooked).
Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Uncover. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Bake an additional 5 minutes or until cheese is evenly melted.
