Bread Stuffed Red Peppers
(www.tastyandmeatless.com)
Ingredients
Red bell peppers
1 loaf stale bread or packaged stuffing cubes
1 can vegetable broth
4 cloves garlic
1 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1 small sweet onion, chopped
1/2 cup Kalamata olives, sliced
1/4 cup sun dried tomatoes
1/4 cup oil from the sun dried tomatoes
Black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
Preparation
To make the stuffing, cut the stale bread in to cubes or use a
packaged bread stuffing mix. Pour 3/4 of the can of vegetable broth over
the bread cubes and blend with your fingers. Make sure the broth soaks
into the bread. Add the garlic, fresh basil, parsley, and the sweet
onion and mix well. Next, add the olives, the sun-dried tomatoes, and
the oil from the sun-dried tomatoes. Blend everything together and let
the oil soak in to the bread cubes. Season with black pepper.
Stand the red peppers up on a cutting board and slice them in half,
lengthwise, from the core to the bottom. Remove the core, white rib on
the sides, and the seeds. Stuff each half of a red pepper with a handful
of stuffing and place into a baking dish. Drizzle a little olive oil
over the tops of the stuffed peppers to keep them from drying out. Bake
at *350 for 30 minutes, until the flesh of the peppers gets soft and the
skin crinkles.
