Stuffed White Bell Peppers

3rd June 2020 by letseatsmart Leave a Comment

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.

Ingredients

  • 4 medium white bell peppers
  • 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 garlic clove, finely chopped
  • 1/2 vegetable stock pot
  • 8 sun dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 150 g cauliflower rice, cooked

For the sauce

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 garlic clove, finely chopped
  • 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 vegetable stock pot
  • 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. Add the garlic and half a vegetable stock pot, stir and continue frying for 1 minute. Take off the heat and transfer into a bowl. Add the chopped up sundried tomatoes and cauliflower rice. Stir to combine, taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Set aside.

To make the sauce

  • Take the sauce off the heat. Using a hand blender, blend the sauce until smooth.
  • Pour the sauce onto an ovenproof dish.
  • Make a cut in each pepper and carefully remove the seeds. Fill each one with the cauliflower rice filling and place the stuffed peppers into the sauce. Cover with tin foil, and bake in the oven for 20 minutes, remove the foil and bake uncovered for 10 more minutes.

AD | Chewy, gooey, caramelised biscuit cookies 🍪  With crunchy caramelised biscuit wafer pieces from @loveraw  Makes 8
Ingredients
* 120 g golden caster sugar
* 50 g dark chocolate chunks
* 2 @loveraw caramelised biscuit wafer bars
* 1/8 tsp salt
* 200 g plain flour
* 1/2 tsp baking soda
* 60 g butter, melted
* 50 g caramelised biscuit spread
* 70 g golden syrup
* 3 tbsp water
Instructions
* Preheat the oven to 180C | gas mark 4. Line a baking sheet with baking paper and set aside.

* In a large bowl, combine the golden caster sugar, chocolate chunks and salt. Sieve in the flour and soda.

* In a separate bowl, combine the biscuit spread, butter and golden syrup. Once combined, add it to the flour mixture. Mix using a wooden spoon and bring the dough together using your hands.

* Divide the dough into 8 golf sized balls, flatten slightly and place on the baking tray. Roughly chop the wafer bars and gently push in a couple of pieces into each cookie. 

* Bake in the middle of the oven for 8-10 minutes. The edges of the cookies should feel firm but the centre will be still quite soft. Leave to cool for 15 minutes.  #biscoff #caramelisedbiscuit #cookies #chewycookies #chocoholic #dessertporn #vegandessert #vegetarianrecipe #recipe #foodporn #vegan #veganfoodshare #veganfoodporn #veganfood #veganrecipes #foodinspo #foodblog #foodie #foodshare #veganmealprep #veganism #foodinsta #fitspiration #cantbelieveitsvegan #cleaneating #diet #mealprepinspo #plantbaseddiet #bvsbackdrops
