Stuffed White Bell Peppers

Tender pepper, fluffy and flavoursome cauliflower rice filling and perfectly seasoned rich tomato sauce. Need I say more? 

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

You’re likely to have heard of stuffed peppers served with a rich tomato sauce before, it is a very popular Eastern European style of cooking peppers. This is yet another childhood favourite of mine. 

Stuffed peppers are a hearty but healthy comfort food and are really easy to make. This recipe is really versatile in that the filling possibilities are endless. You can swap the cauliflower rice for ordinary white or brown rice or even couscous and you can stir in some extra veggies into the filling, too. I usually use leftover canned garden peas or sweetcorn in the filling, but I didn’t have any to hand this time.

For the sauce

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 garlic clove, finely chopped

  • 400 g tinned tomatoes

Instructions

  • Wash and dry the peppers. Preheat the oven to 180C | Gas mark 4.
  • Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and fry for 3-4 minutes until soft.

To make the sauce

Homemade peanut butter in 3 steps 🥜✨😍 Roa Homemade peanut butter in 3 steps 🥜✨😍  Roast 200g peanuts at 180°C for 20–25 min, cool, then blend (add 3–4 dates if you like it sweet). At first, the peanuts will turn into a crumbly, sandy mix — but keep going! Soon it’ll be creamy and dreamy. Add salt to taste.  Store in a jar & enjoy for up to 2 weeks (if it lasts that long 😉).  #homemade #peanutbutter #easyrecipes #veganfood #vegansnack #plantbased #veganrecipes #whatveganseat #crueltyfree #dairyfree #healthyeating #veganprotein #veganlife #wholefoods #veganfoodshare #veganlifestyle #healthyvegan #simplevegan #veganeats #plantbasedrecipes #veganpantry #oilfreevegan #cleanvegan #veganinspo #nutbutterlove #vegancomfortfood
