Vegetarian Stuffed Peppers



So, yesterday, I didn't end up blogging .......

We went to our HOA meeting last night and it lasted a lot longer than I anticipated, and so, we ate out.

But today we made dinner using green peppers from our co-op, a new brown rice we are trying out, which our co-op coordinator shared with me, and eggs from a local farmer that we get through a friend. 

You can't make anything bad when you start with good ingredients like those! 

Today will be mostly pictures because stuffed peppers are pretty common but we did change up a few things


Florida grown, organic, brown rice, one of the better ones I have tried!


Washing  Peppers


Removing the seeds and core


Prepped and in the pan

Cutting up the tops to add into the filling



Saute for about 5 minutes  with grey salt

Add in chopped onions

Saute 

Because 2 out of 5 members of our family to do not eat beef at all we used TVP or as we call it veggie meat

The mix

I added in about 1/2 a cup of tomato sauce, 1 tsp of cumin, 1/2 tsp curry, salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste

Mix the veggie meat filling and about 1 cup of pre-cooked rice

I seasoned the tomato sauce with a touch of salt, pepper, cumin, and garlic powder

Ready to go in the oven ( cover with foil first) 375 degrees

45 minutes later uncover and top with mozzarella. Allow to cook uncovered 5-10 more minutes 

Top with a fried egg! Indulgent yes, but yummy!!!!!!
