Greek Stuffed Peppers (Dairy and Gluten Free)
loading...
X
Ingredients
- Extra virgin olive oil- I used Private Reserve Greek extra virgin olive oil
- Onion- 1 small yellow onion is sauteed in extra virgin olive oil to begin making the meat mixture for the stuffing.
- Ground beef- ½ pound of lean ground beef (you can also use ground turkey or ground chicken). The meat will be fully browned or cooked before using in the stuffing.
- Spices- 1 teaspoon ground allspice, 1 teaspoon garlic powder (or 2 minced garlic cloves) 1 teaspoon of sweet paprika, kosher salt and black pepper to taste. The spices are used at different times in creating the stuffing or the meat and rice mixture that we use to fill the bell peppers
- Chickpeas- 1 cup of already cooked chickpeas (or from can).
- Rice- 1 cup of white rice. Tip: wash the rice well and let it soak in plenty of water for 20 to 30 minutes or until you are able to break one grain of rice easily. This helps cook the rice quickly and evenly.
- Parsley- 1 small bunch fresh parsley, chopped (Or a mixture of chopped fresh parsley and fresh dill)
- Liquid: Tomato sauce and water- in order for the rice to cook well with the ground meat and chickpeas, you will need some liquid. ½ cup tomato sauce and 2 ½ cups of water provides that. The tomato sauce adds more of umami and a subtle color to the stuffing mixture, so don't skip it if you can. You can also use ½ cup of diced tomatoes from a can in place of the tomato sauce, if you like.
- Bell peppers- 6 large bell peppers, any color you choose. Like I mentioned earlier, you only need to remove the stem and the seeds, leaving the actual peppers pretty much whole.
- Broth- A little more liquid is needed to bake the peppers once stuffed. I like to use ¾ cup of broth or water in the baking dish.
