Vegetarian Recipe: 'Stuffed Green Peppers'

Here's a great and nutritious easy vegetarian recipe for you to try...

* Stuffed Green Peppers *

Ingredients:

       ·          4 green peppers

·          2 cups herbs, seeds and/or grains of your choice

·          Rice soaked 4 hours

·          1 onion, finely chopped

·          1 celery stalk, finely chopped with leaves

·          1 cup fresh mushrooms, diced

·          3 tablespoons olive, corn or peanut oil

·          Coarse salt and red crushed pepper, as desired

This vegetarian recipe is a pleasant variation from any of the usual stuffed pepper recipes.

(The combination of ingredients make for a cache of all the Vitamins A, B, and C plus minerals. The rice is high in thi-amine.)

Cooking Method:

Scoop out the insides of the peppers.

Sear the peppers quickly under a flame or in a broiler.

In a separate pan sear over a fast flame the insides of the peppers, the onion, and celery.

Turn the flame low, add the rice and stir until warm. Remove from heat and add the raw mushrooms and other ingredients to the mixture.

Then stuff the combination into the seared pepper shells and place in oven at 150 to 200° for 5 minutes. Leave in oven for another five or ten minutes.

The peppers will be slightly wilted, but will have retained vital values (less cooking means it's better for you after all).
