Preparation

Step 1

Peppers Preparation: Carefully remove stems from peppers, slice in half lengthwise and remove seeds. In a heavy skillet, brown meat in olive oil until crumbly. 1. Add onion, tomato paste, stock and herbs. 2. Bring to a boil and cook until liquid has reduced by about one half. 3. Stir in rice and season to taste. Set the pepper halves in a buttered Pyrex dish, fill each with stuffing and top with cheese. Bake for about 1 hour at 325°. Brown Rice Preparation: Place rice and warm water mixture in a flameproof casserole and leave in a warm place for at least 7 hours. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, stir in salt and butter and cover tightly. Without removing lid, cook over lowest possible heat for about 45 minutes.
