Panfried Meatloaf In Tricolor Peppers - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 green bell pepper
1 red bell pepper
1 yellow bell pepper
1/2 lb ground beef
1/2 lb ground turkey
2 slices white bread, cut into cubes
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes with basil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 egg
1 small onion, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped sage leaf, plus 6 to 8 whole leaves, for frying
1 few dashes Worcestershire sauce
1 few dashes hot sauce
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon oil
vegetable oil, for frying

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Remove core and seeds from peppers.
Slice into 1 inch rings and place on nonstick baking sheet. You should get about 3 rings per pepper.
In a large bowl mix together beef, turkey, bread, 1/2 cup of the tomatoes, garlic, egg, onion, chopped sage, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and season with salt and pepper.
Press meatloaf mixture evenly into pepper rings.
In a skillet over medium-high heat, add oil. Saute meatloaf rings on both sides until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side.
Add remaining tomatoes to skillet and bake in the preheated oven until cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat 1-inch vegetable oil until a deep-fry thermometer reaches 325 degrees F. Drop sage leaves into oil and fry until golden, 1 to 2 minutes.
Garnish meatloaf rings with fried sage leaves.
