Modern Stuffed Peppers

A simple and delicious stuffed pepper recipe with a savory mushroom and onion filling.

Ingredients

  • 6 Green bell peppers (Choose medium-sized peppers)
  • 1 Yellow onion (Finely chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons Butter (Unsalted)
  • 8 ounces Cremini mushrooms (Chopped)
  • 2 cups Cooked rice (Cooked white or brown rice)
  • 1 cup Vegetable broth (Low sodium)
  • 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese (Optional, for topping)
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt (Or to taste)
  • 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (Freshly ground, or to taste)

Instructions

  1. 1Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the tops off the green peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Rinse the peppers inside and out.
  2. 2In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the chopped mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and are tender, about 7 minutes.
  3. 3In a bowl, combine the sautéed onion and mushrooms with the cooked rice, vegetable broth, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  4. 4Spoon the filling into the prepared green peppers, packing it lightly. Place the stuffed peppers in a baking dish.
  5. 5Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the peppers are tender. If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese during the last 5 minutes of baking.
