Buckwheat Bell Peppers Food

STUFFED BELL PEPPERS (CLASSIC UKRAINIAN RECIPE)

Steps:

• Slice the bell pepper into two pieces. Remove the seeds from the pepper. Dice carrots and onions into small squares.
• Cut beef into small, thin pieces. Preheat oiled skillet on high heat. Cook beef until it gets a golden color. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
• In the same skillet, sautee carrots and onions until they soften. Add sliced mushrooms and continue cooking until all the ingredients are golden.
• Add buckwheat and beef to the skillet, season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine everything together.
• Fill each one of the peppers with the cooked buckwheat filling.
• Bake for 35 minutes at 370F. Place slice of cheese on each pepper, cook for another 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.

ELLEN'S VEGAN STUFFED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Saute onion and garlic until onion is almost clear but not browning, about 5 minutes. Add buckwheat; stir until coated, about 1 minute. Add broth and bring to a boil. Simmer until liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Add tomatoes, parsley, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir until heated through, about 3 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Remove tops and seeds from peppers. Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add peppers, cover, and steam until tender, about 5 minutes.
• Stand peppers up in a casserole dish and fill them with the buckwheat mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven until browned, about 15 minutes.

SALAD-STUFFED BLACKENED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and add the buckwheat. Cook for 10-12 mins until tender but with a little bite, then drain and set aside.
• Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a medium frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onions and cook for 5-7 mins or until beginning to soften. Tip in the garlic and za'atar, and cook for a further 1 min. Stir in the sugar, cook for 3 mins more, then stir in the red wine vinegar. Tip the caramelised onions into the buckwheat and combine well. Add the remaining olive oil, the nuts, dates and half the parsley, then season well.
• Wrap the peppers in foil parcels and put on the barbecue for 20 mins, turning every so often. (Alternatively, put the peppers on a baking tray and cook in the oven for 20 mins at 200C/180C fan/gas 6 - but don't use foil as you want them to get some colour.)
• Remove the foil and slice the top off each pepper, being careful not to cut all the way through. Remove the seeds and fill with the buckwheat mixture. Serve garnished with the remaining parsley.

BUCKWHEAT PEPPER CRISPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Whisk together flours, sugar, baking powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
• Blend butter, egg, and milk in a blender until combined. Add flour mixture and blend just until smooth.
• Drop level teaspoons of batter 4 inches apart (about 9 mounds) on a large baking sheet sprayed lightly with cooking spray. Spread each mound into a 3 1/2- to 4-inch round with back of a spoon.
• Bake first batch in middle of oven until golden in spots, 8 to 10 minutes. Immediately transfer crisps with a thin metal spatula to a rack to cool. Form more rounds on another sprayed baking sheet while first batch is baking, then continue to make crisps, baking 1 sheet at a time. (Cool baking sheets between batches.)

STUFFED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bring water and rice to a boil in a covered saucepan. Reduce heat to low and simmer until rice is tender, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until evenly browned and crumbly, 7 to 9 minutes.
• Hollow out bell peppers by removing and discarding the tops, seeds, and membranes. Slice the bottoms of the peppers if necessary to make sure they stand up straight.
• Arrange peppers in a baking dish with the hollowed sides facing upward.
• Prepare filling by mixing cooked beef, cooked rice, 1/2 of the tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Spoon an equal amount of filling into each hollowed pepper.
• Mix remaining tomato sauce and Italian seasoning in a bowl, and pour over the stuffed peppers.
• Bake in the preheated oven, basting with sauce every 15 minutes, until peppers are tender, about 1 hour.
