Stuffed peppers with rice and vegetables in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake peppers stuffed with vegetables and rice in the oven? Prepare your food. Take a medium-sized pepper so that it has time to bake in the oven. I took short-grain rice, but in general any variety will do, choose according to your taste. The set of vegetables can also be anything, except for or instead of what I suggested, tomatoes, eggplants, and zucchini are suitable. I advise you to leave the onions and carrots - they make the filling juicier. Wash and dry all vegetables first.

2. STEP 2

   

   Peel the onion and cut into small cubes.

3. STEP 3

   

   Cut the peeled carrots as desired - you can cut them into cubes, circles, strips, I just grated them on a coarse grater. The remaining vegetables (beans and corn) do not need preparation. My beans are frozen, there is no need to defrost them. If you are using other vegetables, chop them in the same way.

4. STEP 4

   

   Heat a frying pan over low heat, pour vegetable oil into it. Add onions and carrots. Fry them, stirring, for 5 minutes until soft.

5. STEP 5

   

   Rinse the rice in several waters, drain the remaining water well. Pour the rice into the pan with the vegetables. Mix the ingredients. Fry the rice for a couple of minutes, stirring.

6. STEP 6

   

   Pour boiling water into the pan to fill 2/3 of the rice. Add salt and pepper. You can also add your favorite spices.

7. STEP 7

   

   Cover the pan with a lid and leave the rice to cook over low heat.

8. STEP 8

   

   When all the liquid has been absorbed, add beans to the rice. Stir and keep on fire for a couple more minutes.

9. STEP 9

   

   Then turn off the heat and add the corn. Stir. The filling is ready. The rice turns out half-cooked, as it should be, it will finally finish cooking in the oven. You can boil the rice separately from the vegetables and only then mix them with them, but I like it better this way, it dirty less dishes.

10. STEP 10

    

    Cut off the tails of the peppers along with some of the pulp, but do not throw them away. They will act as lids. Remove the center along with the seeds. The peppers in this recipe are not pre-boiled.

11. STEP 11

    

    Stuff the prepared peppers with the filling. Place them standing up in a baking dish. Mine only fit 6 pieces, although there was enough filling for 8 medium peppers.

12. STEP 12

    

    Cover the peppers with lids to prevent the filling from drying out during baking. Place the pan with the peppers in the oven, preheated to 180°C. Bake the peppers for 30 minutes. Focus on your oven.

13. STEP 13

    

    Five minutes before the end, you can sprinkle grated cheese on top of the peppers. If you are preparing a meatless dish or following a vegetarian diet, then omit this step. I used mozzarella, but any cheese that melts well will work.

14. STEP 14

    

    Remove the finished peppers from the oven, cool slightly and serve. Bon appetit!

I love this vegetable version of stuffed peppers! But more often I cook the classic version with meat.

And I always stew stuffed peppers in sour cream and vegetable sauce. I fry the onion, add grated carrots, finely chopped small peppers and tomatoes, stew it all a little and add sour cream. The truth turns out fatter. I’ll have to try your recipe, it looks really delicious)

We bought Turkish long pepper and want to stuff it. I also make lean stuffed peppers in the oven, but I add lentils or green peas to the filling, it turns out sooooo delicious.
