Stuffed Peppers

Made them last night and they were fabulous! If I do say so myself :)

Ingredients:

2 BIG red bell peppers
1 zucchini
1/2 yellow bell pepper
4 garlic cloves
2 cups of rice (cooked)
1/2 small can of tomato paste
1/2 cup of veggie broth
1/2 lemon
Olive oil
Feta cheese
Handful of fresh cilantro (chopped)
Oregano (to taste)
Salt (to taste)
Pepper (to taste)
Cayenne pepper (optional)

How to:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Cut each bell pepper in half. Clean by taking out all seeds, membrane etc.
Oil a baking sheet and brush oil on all sides on the pepper halves.
Place face down on baking sheet.
Cook for 25 minutes until they start to brown.
Chop bell pepper and zucchini into small bites.
Mince garlic.
Heat oil in a skillet and sautee the bell pepper, zucchini, and garlic for approx. 4minutes.
Add tomato paste, veggie broth, oregano, cayenne, salt, pepper, and cilantro and sautee for another 4 minutes.
Add rice, mix well, and sautee for an additional 4 minutes.
Take off heat and add feta (as much as you like) and squeeze the lemon into it. Mix well.
Take out peppers and spoon the mixture into each half. It can be heaped.
Sprinkle feta on top.
Bake for 5 more minutes.

ENJOY!!

You can also vary the vegetables used - ie. add mushrooms, broccoli etc.
You can also add ground beef if you are a meat-eater.
