Stuffed Bell Peppers

I made these a while ago and it has been languishing in my drafts folder for too long. I had some pretty red & yellow bell peppers and played around with the stuffing a bit and used Boca Meatless Ground Burger to make this more hearty and filling. The crispy bread crumbs balanced the filling really well & it made for an enjoyable meal.

STUFFED BELL PEPPERS


Ingredients:
Bell peppers / Capsicum - 2, halved lengthwise
Onion - 1 medium, chopped
Carrot - 1 medium, chopped
Garlic - 3 to 4 cloves, chopped
Boca Meatless Ground Burger - 1 cup, thawed
Frozen Spinach - 1 cup
Bread Crumbs - about 1.5 cups
Parmesan Cheese - half cup
Olive oil - 2 tbsp + more to drizzle
Red pepper flakes - 1 tsp
Salt & Pepper - to taste

Method:
1) Heat 1 tbsp olive oil and add in the garlic and onions with the red pepper flakes.. Cook till they soften. Next, add the chopped carrots and stir with a pinch of salt.

2) Once carrots are tender, add in the chopped spinach, boca crumbles and cook this mixture till it comes through. Season with salt & pepper to taste.

3) In the remaining 1 tbsp of oil, saute the bread crumbs till pale golden & crisp. Stir in the cheese and season with salt & pepper as desired.

4) Reserve about half cup of the bread crumbs and mix the remaining 1 cup with the veggie mixture.

5) Preheat oven to 375F. Spoon the veggie mixture into the pepper halves and top with the reserved bread crumbs. Place the peppers in a pan coated with oil and drizzle the tops with more olive oil.

6) Bake for about 45 minutes or until the tops are browned and peppers are tender. Serve warm.
