Baked Capsicum Bell Peppers Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cut the tops off the peppers. Remove and discard the stems, then finely chop the tops; set aside. Scoop out the seeds and as much of the membrane as you can. Place the peppers cut-side up in a baking dish just large enough to hold them upright.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef, season with salt and pepper and cook, breaking up the lumps, until the meat is cooked through and just beginning to brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to get rid of the fat.
• Wipe out the skillet and add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the onions and chopped peppers and cook until beginning to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and zucchini and cook for another minute. Add the tomatoes and season with salt and a pinch or 2 of red pepper flakes. Cook until everything is heated through, then stir in the beef and rice. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Stir in 1 cup of the cheese.
• Fill the peppers with the rice mixture and top each with a sprinkle of the remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Pour a small amount of water into the bottom of the baking dish and drizzle the peppers with a little olive oil. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until the peppers are soft and the cheese is melted and lightly browned, another 15 to 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to gas mark 4/180C/350°F.
• In a bowl, mix the tuna, black olives, grated garlic, chopped parsley and breadcrumbs until you have a smooth mixture.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Cut the peppers in half and remove the seeds but leaving the stalks intact (they are not edible but they do look attractive and they help the pepper halves to keep their shape).
• Stuff each half with 3-4 tbsp of the mixture.
• Place on a well-greased baking tray.
• Drizzle the top with olive oil and bake the capsicums in top shelf of the oven for about 45-50 minutes.
• Remove from oven and transfer them onto a serving dish, with all the juices from the tray poured over the peppers.
• Drizzle with a little more of olive oil if desired.

Steps:

• Chop enough reserved green pepper tops to equal 1/4 cup; discard remaining tops or use for another purpose. Set chopped pepper aside.
• Place hollowed-out green peppers in a microwave-safe dish; cover and cook in microwave until bright green and steaming, about 3 minutes. Set peppers aside.
• Cook and stir ground beef in a skillet with reserved chopped pepper tops and onion over medium heat until beef is browned, the juices run clear, and the onion is translucent, about 10 minutes; drain excess grease. Pour in diced tomatoes with their juice, rice, water, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover skillet, and simmer until rice is tender, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Stir cheese into ground beef-rice mixture and spoon mixture into precooked peppers. Set peppers upright in an 8x8-inch baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and the peppers are tender, about 30 minutes.

• Transfer halved peppers to a baking tray, cavity side up. Sprinkle each half with salt and pepper.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes, until peppers are slightly soft.
• Sprinkle the mozzarella and half of the chives evenly among the four pepper halves. Then crack eggs into the center of each pepper.
• Sprinkle the salt, pepper, bacon, cheddar, and remaining chives on top of the eggs.
