What I did with my pepper
So, I looked at all of the stuffed pepper suggestions, and made this hybrid. It came out good! I'd recommend it.
First of all I used yellow peppers, b/c I just feel like they're sweeter.
I cut the tops off of the peppers, and the extra pepper from the tops I diced and sauteed in olive oil with onions and a clove of garlic (minced)
When they were soft, I added a can of fire roasted tomatoes and a can of peas, and some salt and pepper. When that cooked down a bit, I added saffron rice, which I had cooked. Then I filled the peppers, topped them w/monteray jack, and baked them in the oven at 350 for about 20 minutes.
sooooo good. I think next time, though, I'd put cheese throughout as well as on top. I just had my leftover one for lunch today, a nd I have so much extra filling that I think I'm going to use with some black beans to make burritos for dinner tomorrow.
