A satisfying meat-less entree. The peppers are filled with a mixture made from tempeh — fermented soybeans that are mixed with grains and formed into a cake.

Ingredients

Bell pepper

5 item(s), medium, (preferably red and/or yellow)

Quick cooking brown rice

¾ cup(s), uncooked

Olive oil

2 tsp

Uncooked tempeh

8 oz, diced

Onion

1 cup(s), chopped, diced

Uncooked zucchini

1 cup(s), sliced, diced

Canned tomato sauce

15 oz

Grated Parmesan cheese

2 Tbsp

Jarred minced garlic

2 tsp

Italian seasoning

1 tsp

Black pepper

½ tsp

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut off tops from 4 peppers. Remove seeds and set hollow peppers and tops aside. Dice remaining bell pepper; set aside.
  2. Bring 3/4 cup of water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add rice; cover and simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat; cover and let stand 5 minutes until tender.
  3. While rice cooks, heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a large nonstick skillet. Add tempeh and sauté over medium-high heat until golden, about 4 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  4. Add remaining teaspoon oil to skillet. Add diced bell pepper and onion; sauté until almost tender, about 5 minutes. Add zucchini and sauté until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and stir in cooked rice, tempeh, tomato sauce, cheese, garlic, Italian seasoning and pepper. (Note: Look for tempeh in the refrigerated section of your grocery store near other soy products.)
  5. Fill peppers with tempeh mixture and cover with pepper tops. Place in a shallow baking dish and bake until peppers are tender, about 30 minutes.
  6. Yields 1 stuffed pepper per serving.

Notes

Store stuffed peppers for up to 3 days in the fridge.
