    Defo has to be cous cous with roasted veg, courgette, red onion, aubergine (add a splash of balsamic vinegar too). Then mix in some sun dried toms and feta cheese. Stuff. Grill/oven. Voile. Total greek freakout. It is delicious!

    If you bake them, you can stand the peppers up in a pan with about an inch of water around them to keep them moist and from burning. I love putting in the vegetable steamer with the basket because it is so much faster and I don't have to turn on the oven (especially in the heat of summer).

    Good luck!!!

    I'm lazy - I like Stuffed Pepper Soup (Cooking Light)

    1/2 pound ground round (or turkey)
    2 cups chopped green bell pepper (red & green combo is nice)
    1 cup chopped onion
    1/4 teaspoon black pepper
    1 (14-ounce) can less-sodium beef broth
    1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
    1 (10 3/4-ounce) can tomato soup, undiluted
    1 1/2 cups hot cooked white or brown rice

    Heat a small Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add beef; cook 3 minutes or until browned, stirring to crumble. Add chopped green bell pepper and onion; cook 8 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Stir in black pepper, less-sodium beef broth, diced tomatoes, and tomato soup; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 45 minutes.
    Spoon 1/4 cup hot cooked rice into each of 6 bowls; top with 1 cup soup.

    *Variations: for tomato soup I use Amy's or Progresso - Campbell's is super sweet (yuck). I also like to add some basil.

    I was looking for an alternative to bread this afternoon for lunch, so I halved a green pepper and stuffed it with tuna salad... YUMMM!

    I use either lean beef or turkey or TVP (textured vegetable protein), and then I add a can of diced tomatoes, an onion, garlic, some olive oil, and (wait for it) parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme, and cumin for good measure (one day, I was making some and wasn't sure how to season it, so I did it that way, remembering the song, and just out of curiosity, I mean the chorus is an old tune so I was thinking there had to be something to it, right? And cumin is just always a good idea. :bigsmile: ). It is SO good. Filling barely made it into the peppers the first time, I could hardly stop eating it. Yum! Here's a link to the recipe which I use as a base for a LOT of things, including this. http://www.squidoo.com/how-to-make-georgian-eggplant

    LOVE IT!!! Simon & Garfunkel would NEVER steer us wrong. LOL.

    Anybody got any stuffed-pepper recipes that don't use rice or other grains, or bread or starchy veggies?
    I'm on a low-carb diet and love stuffed peppers but can't have the carbs that I see in the (delicious sounding) recipes here.
