Gourmet Italian Style Stuffed Bell Peppers
These Italian style stuffed bell peppers are my absolute favorite. The best part about stuffed bell peppers is that you can customize your colors.
Ingredients
6 medium red pepper (red capsicum) - different colours
2 links Italian sausage (American name for Pork Sausage with Fennel Seeds)
1 pound ground beef
⅔ cup parsley - chopped
½ cup green onions (scallions or green shallots) - chopped
3 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups white rice
1 cup tomato - pureed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Cook the rice according to directions and clean/ parboil the bell peppers for 4 minutes.
- Remove the sausage from casings and combine with the beef in a large skillet to brown for about 8 minutes. Add in the diced parsley, diced green onion, diced garlic, salt and pepper, and cook for 2 more minutes.
- Pour in the pureed tomatoes and stir in the white rice.
- Stuff each of the bell peppers and place in a raised baking dish. Add enough water to cover the bottom of the baking dish. This helps with moisture. Bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the stuffed bell peppers from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
