Recipe: Stuffed Peppers

Photo: The Primal Palate

Stuffing foods with other foods is a great tradition in the culinary world. Here in the states, one of our favorite stuffed foods is probably the stuffed pepper. It's traditionally filled with ground beef and rice, but there are countless ways to add variety to the recipe. Here's ours!

Ingredients

• 1lb ground beef
• 4 medium bell peppers with 1/2 inch trimmed off the tops. Cores and seeds discarded.
• 1/2 cup long grain white rice
• 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 can diced tomatoes, drained with 1/4 cup of the juice reserved
• 5 ounces monterey jack cheese shredded
• 2 tablespoons chopped, fresh parsley leaves
• ground black pepper
• 1/4 cup ketchup

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

To begin, bring 4 quarts water to boil in a large dutch oven over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon salt and the bell peppers. Cook until the peppers begin to soften (about 3 minutes). Remove the peppers from the pot and drain off the excess water. Place the peppers cut sides up on paper towels. Return the water to boil, add the rice and boil until tender (about 13 minutes). Drain the rice and transfer to a large bowl.

Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and swirl to coat. Add the onion and stir occasionally until soft and beginning to brown. Add ground beef and brown. Make sure to break into small pieces as it cooks. Once completely browned, stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant. Transfer the mixture to the bowl with the rice, stir in the tomatoes, 1 cup cheese, parsley, then salt and pepper to taste.

In a small bowl stir together the ketchup and reserved tomato juice. Place the peppers cut side up on a baking dish. For stability, we found using ramekins, muffin tins, or a tube pan kept the peppers upright. Fill the peppers using a soup spoon, then spoon 2 tablespoons of the ketchup mixture over each pepper and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake 25-30 minutes, then serve immediately.

Enjoy!

Sounds heavenly...never tried partially cooking the peppers ahead of time (only knew of cooking them IN tomato juice...and then that was a pain finding a pan with deep enough sides). This is sooo easy.

I usually cook mine on top of the stove in a stock pot, put a dollop of olive oil in the bottom, I cheat I make Spanish Rice-a Roni add the ground beef cooked with a little onion, put it in the peppers, pour a little marinara or sphagetti sauce over cook till peppers are tender on low to medium heat, takes about 30-45 minutes and its done, take then out and put a dollop of sour cream, yum!

It's not like this is surprising. Steroid use is one of the most unesddiscuesrd, underenforced fronts in our war on drugs. Americans are still pretty blind to the fact that a HUGE number of their favorite atheletes juice up (as well as, yes Virginia, many film/TV celebrities). And one of the reasons a casual-use steroid ban is not enforced even more is because a great number of the police who patrol our streets are *also* serious steroid abusers. (Some whom I've spoken with claim they must gain any advantage they can when dealing with thugs juiced up on meth/adrenaline, but to me that sounds more like an addict's clever excuse.) We need to see famous and unknown abusers alike given severe prosecution for rampant steroid abuse or it will never stop.
