Vegan Stuffed Peppers
Ingredients
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1/2 cup uncooked white rice
  • 4 green bell peppers
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 8 ounces textured vegetable protein
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 cups tomato sauce
  • salt to taste
  • 4 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
1
Combine water and rice in a small saucepan; heat it until boiling point is reached.
2
Transfer the water-rice mixture to a low-heat setting on your stovetop and let it cook until the rice is fully tender and has absorbed all excess moisture, approximately 15 minutes.
3
Preheat your home oven to a temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit (or 205 degrees Celsius, if you have a thermometer).
4
Cut the tops off your peppers and carefully remove their seeds. Arrange them in a large baking dish, making sure they're snugly fitted.
5
Take the usable portion of the pepper tops and chop them up into smaller pieces.
6
Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat on your stovetop.
7
Add the chopped pepper pieces and onion to the hot oil in the skillet, stirring until they're soft and cooked through.
8
Stir in some textured vegetable protein and a handful of parsley leaves into the skillet mixture, reducing heat to low.
9
Continue cooking this mixture for another 5 minutes on the stovetop, stirring occasionally.
10
Add cooked rice and 1 1/4 cups of tomato sauce to the skillet mixture, stirring until well combined.
11
Season your dish with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
12
Spoon the rice-tomato sauce mixture into each pepper, topping it off with a generous helping of remaining tomato sauce.
13
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in your preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes.
14
Remove the foil, sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over each pepper, and return it to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
