Microwave

Stuffed Bell peppers

Serves: 4 • Time: 15 min

Method:

  1. Prepare the Bell Peppers
    Rinse the peppers thoroughly.
    Slice off the tops and carefully remove seeds and membranes.
    If needed, trim a tiny bit of the bottom so they stand upright (be careful not to make a hole).

  2. Partially cook the Peppers (to soften slightly)
    Place the peppers upright in a microwave-safe dish.
    Add about 1/4 cup of water or broth to the dish.
    Cover with microwave-safe lid or microwave-safe plate.
    Microwave on high for 3–4 minutes to soften slightly. (Adjust time if your peppers are very thick.) Drain excess liquid.
  1. Prepare the Filling
    In a microwave-safe bowl, combine olive oil, chopped onion, and minced garlic.
    Microwave on high for 2–3 minutes until softened.
    Add cooked ground meat, cooked rice, diced tomatoes, paprika, herbs, salt, and pepper.
    Mix well, then microwave for another 1–2 minutes to heat through.
    Stir in half of the shredded cheese.
  1. Stuff the Peppers
    Spoon the filling into each prepared pepper.
    Top each with the remaining cheese.
  1. Microwave to Finish
    Place stuffed peppers in the dish.
    Cover loosely with microwave-safe lid.
    Microwave on high for 4–6 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted.
  1. Garnish & Serve
    Carefully remove from microwave.
    Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or coriander.
    Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Adjust microwave times based on your microwave’s power level. Enjoy your delicious microwave stuffed peppers!
