Stuffed Bell Peppers


Cut the top from the Bell Pepper and scoop out the inside.
Add the following ingredients inside the bell pepper:
- 1/4 cup of green peppers finely chopped
- 1 cup of black beans
- 1.5 cup of brown rice
- 1/4 cup of scallions finely chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic crushed
- 1 tablespoon of sea salt
- 1 tablespoon of pepper
- 1/4 cup of parsley finely chopped
- 1/4 cup of tomatoes finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons of lemon
- 1/4 cup of pinenuts
- 2 teaspoons of capers
Fill the bell peppers 3/4 of the way full.
In a large pot add the following ingredients:
- 4 cups of water
- 1 can of tomato sauce
- 6 tablespoons of lemon
- 1 tablespoon of sea salt
- 2 cloves of garlic crushed
Add the stuffed bell peppers in the pot. Bring to a boil. Then turn heat to med/low and cook approx 45 min. or until the rice is soft. While the peppers are cooking, take the sauce from inside the pot and pour over stuffed peppers, several times. This will help the rice inside the peppers cook faster and absorb the great taste of the sauce.
Makes 6 Servings
