Perfect Stuffed Peppers

Stuffed peppers are nice and easy to make - and even better, you can stuff them whatever you want!




Ingredients;

-4 large peppers
-Dash of olive oil
-a few cloves of garlic
(For the fillings, you can put almost anything you like - but here is what I used)
-Salt and pepper
-50g feta cheese, crumbled
-1 Tomato
-A handful of Mushrooms
-About 1/2-3/4 a cup of rice.

Slice each pepper in half lengthways and scoop out the seeds and core. Its handy to wash the inside peppers to get rid of any stubborn seeds. Crush some of the garlic, and rub it around the insides of the pepper. Roll the outsides in olive oil.

Oil a dish and lay the peppers inside it. Now to make the toppings!

Cook the rice in a pot, adding salt, pepper, and any other spices as it simmers. In a separate pan, gently fry the remaining garlic along with the mushrooms. After a couple of minutes, transfer the mushrooms and garlic to the same pot as the rice. Mix. Chop the tomato into tiny chunks and add this to the rice as well.

Spoon the rice mixture into the peppers, topping with the crumbled feta cheese.

Cover the dish with foil, and bake for twenty minutes at 200C. Remove the foil, and cook for a further ten minutes.
