Jemma's Stuffed Peppers
February 19, 2013
Growing up my Mother would prepare stuffed peppers
quite often. I would like to share with you this little recipe. I
have changed it a bit-it is now a vegetarian recipe with the
capability of being modified to your liking by adding turkey,
chicken, beef or venison. Just replace the black beans with
your choice of meat.

Fun Facts about the Bell Pepper-
It is very low in calories, about 30.
Good levels of vitamin A,C.
Boosts immunity.
Ingredients for Filling:
1 medium zucchini chopped
1 red potato chopped
1/4 cup sweet vidalia onion chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup black beans
1/2 cup white american cheese grated
1/4 cup Fire roasted salsa
1/4 cup chopped tomato for garnish
1/4 cup sliced hass avocado for garnish
The Bell Pepper: Par Boil Before Filling:
We are going to par-boil these peppers in the microwave-
1/4 cup water
2 large bell peppers
1/8 tsp sea salt
1 Pyrex baking dish
Plastic wrap
We will be par-boiling these beautiful bell peppers before
filling them. I am going to do this in the microwave-so, before
placing these gorgeous peppers in a 2-quart baking dish, cut off
the tops and remove all of the seeds and sprinkle with sea salt.
Add water to casserole dish, then place peppers upside down
into casserole dish and cover with plastic wrap. Microwave on
high for 6 minutes. Leave peppers covered in microwave
until you are ready to fill them.

Now it is time to saute the vegetables.
Saute zucchini, onion and red potato until tender yet crisp.
Add black beans and fire roasted salsa. Simmer over medium
to low heat for 15 minutes.
This is looking awesome-isn't your mouth just watering?
We are ready to fill these darling peppers with all of this pure
goodness and savory flavor.
Layer vegetable filling and cheese into pepper, place in baking
dish and place covered in microwave for 4 minutes. Last
minute of baking time uncover - add more american cheese and
bake until melted. Garnish with sliced avocado and tomato
slices. Serve with tossed salad(great salad recipe in a
previous post) or fresh fruit!
