HEALTHY VEGETABLE AND COUSCOUS STUFFED PEPPERS
This dish looks particularly vibrant when you use a combination of sweet yellow, red and orange bell peppers. Pick the largest ones you can find, with the flattest, most stable bottoms so they remain standing once they're stuffed and baked in the tomato sauce. These peppers are delicious hot out of the oven or served Mediterranean-style at room temperature.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Cut off the very tops of the peppers. Remove and discard the ribs and seeds and set the peppers aside.
- Drain the tomatoes in a colander set over a medium bowl. Reserve the juice and set the tomatoes aside over a plate to catch any residual juices. Stir the couscous, oregano, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper into the tomato juice and set aside while preparing the filling.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the onion, zucchini, half the garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are softened and just beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. Increase the heat to high, stir in the couscous mixture and simmer rapidly, stirring frequently, until the couscous is just al dente and the liquid is beginning to thicken, about 5 minutes. Stir in the spinach and cook, adjusting the heat if necessary, until the leaves are bright green and just beginning to wilt, about 30 seconds. Set the filling aside to cool slightly.
- To make the sauce, combine the remaining garlic and olive oil in a Dutch oven, add the chile flakes if using and stir to combine. Place the pot over medium-high heat and cook, stirring occasionally at first then more frequently as the oil starts to sizzle to prevent the garlic from burning, until the garlic starts to stick to the edge of the spoon and is just beginning to turn a very pale straw color, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the reserved drained tomatoes plus any accumulated juices, 1 cup water, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture just begins to come together and thicken, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Fold the feta and basil into the couscous filling. Fill a pepper with about 3/4 cup of the filling, scooping it in loosely and shaking the pepper to level the filling rather than packing it down. Nestle the filled pepper in the sauce in the pot, then repeat with the remaining peppers, propping them up against each other and the sides of the pot for stability during baking.
- Cover the pot and bake until the peppers are tender but not mushy and the sauce is bubbling, 45 to 60 minutes. Check after 45 minutes to see if the peppers are tender but not soft or they will be overcooked and mushy. Let rest for at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature with a generous scoop of the tomato sauce.
VEGETABLE STUFFED PEPPERS
Steps:
- Place the rice in a pan or rice maker with the two cups of water and cook until tender covered on low, about 35-45 minutes depending on the brown rice brand. Lay out to cool on a platter and add in a little oil then mix to keep the rice from sticking. Set aside to cool.
- While the rice is cooking, chop and prepare all of the other ingredients for the steps below.
- Make the sauce by mixing the entire can of tomato paste, ¼ cup of the olive oil, 1 ½ teaspoons of kosher salt, ½ teaspoon of black pepper and one teaspoon each of parsley, basil, oregano and mint. Add ½ cup of hot tap water and whisk to combine. Set this aside, it does not need to be cooked.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Pick three of the most attractive looking peppers and cut with a sharp knife from top to bottom to yield six even halves. Remove seeds and membranes. You can leave the stem attached or remove. It is for looks only in the final dish.
- Fill a medium pot three quarters full of water and bring to a boil. Add one teaspoon of the salt then add the six cut pepper halves and boil for 4-8 minutes or until tender but not falling apart. Check at four minutes then check every minute. They should be soft when poked but firm enough to hold up to filling. Lay them out, cut down, on paper towels to cool. Discard the water and reuse the pot to saute the vegetables.
- Save the fourth colorful pepper to dice for the filling. Dice into half-inch dice along with the green bell pepper. You should have about 2 cups of the two mixed diced peppers.
- In the medium pot, add the remaining ¼ cup of olive oil and over medium high heat, add the diced peppers, diced carrot, diced celery, diced yellow onion, diced zucchini, diced mushrooms, one teaspoon of salt and a half teaspoon of pepper, the remaining parsley, remaining basil, remaining oregano, remaining mint and all of the thyme and cook for four minutes.
- Add the spinach and garlic and cook for two additional minutes.
- Remove from the heat and add the tomato puree, 1 cup of mozzarella and ½ cup of Parmesan cheese and toss. Add the cooked rice and stir to combine.
- Chose your casserole dish capable of holding the six pepper halves. A 9X13 dish would work. Spread a half cup of the sauce across the bottom.
- On your counter, fill the six pepper halves, mounding and using all of the filling. Place into the prepared casserole dish and spoon the rest of the sauce over each pepper.
- Top each pepper with the remaining half cup of mozzarella and the remaining quarter cup of Parmesan cheese and bake uncovered for 15 minutes.
- Serve at once.

Steps:

- Drizzle the bell pepper halves with EVOO and season both sides with salt and pepper. Roast cut-side down until the skins begin to char and the peppers are just tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool to room temp, then arrange in a baking dish cut-side up.
- Meanwhile, heat 3 tablespoons EVOO, 3 turns of the pan, over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, eggplant, zucchini, onions and chiles, and season with salt and pepper. Cook partially covered to tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Add the herbs and tomatoes, and combine with the quinoa.
- Fill the pepper halves with the quinoa and vegetable stuffing and drizzle with EVOO. Cool and chill for a make-ahead meal. To serve, roast in a 375 degree F oven until the peppers are hot through. Serve the pepper halves topped with lots of cheese crumbles.

- To roast the peppers: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the halved peppers in a large 9 by 13-inch baking dish, or on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over the peppers and sprinkle them with salt and pepper. Use your hands to rub the oil all over both sides of the peppers, then arrange them with the cut sides facing up. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the peppers are a little blistered around the edges and easily pierced through by a fork. Set aside. Leave the oven on for baking the peppers.
- In the meantime, cook the rice: Bring a large pot of water to boil. Rinse the rice in a fine-mesh colander until the water runs clear. Add the rice to the boiling water and continue boiling, uncovered, for 30 minutes (reduce the heat as necessary to prevent overflow). Drain off the remaining cooking water and return the rice to the pot. Set aside.
- Prepare the filling: In a large skillet over medium heat, warm 2 tablespoons olive oil until shimmering. Add the onion and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Cook, stirring often, until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook until they’re lightly squishy, another 5 minutes or so.
- Add the cilantro, garlic, chili powder and cumin. While stirring, cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 30 to 60 seconds.
