These are one of my favorite things to make, especially since the the filling can be changed to suit your tastes and what you have lying around the kitchen. I used Field Roast’s Chipotle flavored sausages which has great flavor and seasonings, that there was no need to add any spices. These were creamy, spicy and filling. The recipe is for 4 bell peppers, but I had 3—luckily, the stuffing makes a great breakfast burrito filling.
INGREDIENTS:
4 bell peppers, any variety
1/2 C arborio rice
1 C vegetable broth
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbs olive oil
2 Field Roast sausages, chipotle-flavor, crumbled
1 medium onion, diced
1-1/2 C mushrooms, diced
2 small tomatoes, diced
1 C vegan cheddar, shredded
1/4 C Tofutti sour cream
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 375. In a small saucepan, combine the vegetable broth and arborio rice; bring to a boil. Cover and simmer on low for 10-15 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed. Slice the very tops off of the bell peppers and clean out the innards; set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and garlic. Add the onions and Field Roast and saute until the onions start to soften and brown, then add the mushrooms and tomatoes. In a small bowl, combine the cheese and sour cream and then stir it into the Field Roast mixture.
Spoon the Field Roast mixture into the peppers—firmly pack it in. Place into a 8″ baking dish.
Cover with foil and bake for 35 minutes. Uncover and bake another 5 minutes and enjoy!
Ryan and I were just talking about how much we missed sausage…I’m going to have to try to hunt that brand down and make something yummy like this! Your stuffed peppers look packed full of flavor AND nutrition. Perfect! Thank you for sharing with me, week after week. Sending love and good thoughts your way!
I would love to serve this as an antipasto! Looks so delicious!
Thanks! 🙂
These are awesome! I took a little liberty with some of the ingredients, and made something wonderful for my boyfriend and I. I bragged about it on my blog, but gave you total credit and even posted a link to your site. 8^D
Hey, thanks!!
YUmmy! I can’t wait to have a reason to cook them (single..so hard to put a lot of work in for just me) Just came across your blog. I’m a physician who advocates I plant-based diet for everyone. As you clearly already know it’s truly the one best thing you can do for yourself. We just started an educational blog on plant-based diets focusing mainly on those looking for information and evaluating whether or not to adopt a vegan lifestyle. I’ve been looking for a resource for good recipes because sadly I am the epitome of the cooking for one vegan and I would like to also have somethings for families. Might this something you would be interested in…us referring to your phenomenal blog? and possibly featuring some of your recipes (of course linking back to your blog) Let me know your thoughts and check us out, we would love to have to you! 🙂 veggie♥, Jenn (www.theplantrx.com)
Thanks, Jenn! (I sent you an email) and great site!!
