Description

Make these flavorful, gluten-free stuffed bell peppers with lean beef, rice, and feta cheese for an easy and satisfying family dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 bell peppers, any colour
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tsp chopped garlic
  • 500 g lean beef mince
  • 250 g cooked brown basmati rice
  • 400 g tin chopped tomatoes
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1.2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 200 g feta cheese, crumbled
  • 75 g black olives, pitted and sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200C / Fan 180C / Gas Mark 6. Cut the peppers in half longways through the stalks, then scoop out any seeds and pith.
  2. Place the peppers cut-side-down onto a large baking tray and bake for 15 minutes until they start to soften and brown.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat, then add the onions and garlic. Fry for 5 minutes until starting to soften.
  4. Add the beef mince and turn up to a high heat. Fry until browned, around 5-7 minutes.
  5. Turn the heat back down to medium and add the cooked rice, tomatoes, herbs and olives, plus 150g of the feta cheese.
  6. Mix well and continue to cook on a medium heat until the peppers have had their 15 minutes in the oven.
  7. Remove the peppers from the oven and turn them over. Fill the peppers with the beef mixture, crumbling the extra feta on top.
  8. Bake the filled peppers for another 15 minutes and then serve.

Notes

  • Two peppers (four halves) make a good adult portion. For children, use one pepper per person.
  • You can freeze any excess filling or enjoy it separately as a rice dish.
