Baked Green Pepper Delight
...so called because of it's sheer delightfulness. And, uses leftover rice, vegs, etc. in wond'rous ways.
ok, so you have some of that marinara sauce left over from the Tortilla Soup we just made, no?

Well you should.You will need it.
Ingredients:
not much, but some marinara sauce. say...1/3 c.
At least 3 peppers, cut in 1/2 = 6 servings
3 cloves large,chopped garlic
1/3 c. chopped onion
1/4 c. chopped cilantro
various leftover vegs: We happened to have 1/2 c.cabbage from lunch, sliced thin
mushrooms! say 1/2 c. chop'd
shiitake and clamshells *on sale,
1/2 small *eggplant, cubed.
hollow out peppers' insides discard seeds and chop that small.
sautee all this in 1 tbsp.peanut oil & soya, & add some to outside of pepper-1/2s.

Simmer above vegs, adding leftover cooked rice, at least 2 heaping cups *or cook up some yummy steamed organic basmati.Ingredients:

add rice to vegies w/abit of marinara sauce,pinch of basil, oregano, thyme and cumin, chilie powder, curry...Add the hollow pepper shells, with some water in the rice/veg mix and heat,covered about for about 5-7 min. on low.
Transfer pepper shells to baking sheet, stuff with rice/veg mix. Bake at 375 for 20-30 mins depending on if u like vegs crisper, or if you do want them abit more done, and with a nice crunchy baked top which i must admit i do rather enjoy-go for it another 5 min or so.
Add when done:
Top w/a bit of spread if u like, whilst hot
+ nutritional yeast
Black olives, avocado, sliced
small grape tomatoes, cut in 1/2
perhaps slivered almonds,& all set upon
a salad bed, w/raspberry walnut vinagrette dressing -
It all truly has a wonderful smell, look, taste coming out of the oven. The flavors marry beautifully after they have had some time together. Enjoy!
...and as HG Wells was often seen visiting the local Tea Shop w/his lady ("Same time tomorrow then?")
