I've been marinating and ruminating so deeply regarding the political scene lately - today I figured I'd step back and share a different one of my loves: a favorite recipe. So now, enjoy something which is relatively easy to make, always yummy, and definitely brings color to the table.
Chef Eric's WORLD-FAMOUS stuffed peppers:
Take several good-sized peppers (variety of green, orange,
red, yellow) – cut off top and remove seeds/veins. Place, with tops, into large
microwavable container with a little water…nuke for 3-4 minutes, just to begin
softening process….allow to sit aside
For filling: mix 1.5-2 lb. ground beef (or turkey or lamb)
in large bowl with basil, oregano, garlic, 1/2-3/4 cup bread crumbs (I prefer
panko), 1 egg and ½ cup tomato sauce (I prefer V-8 spicy)…mix well (the best
method is by hand)….
Stuff peppers with mixture….place fairly tightly in
casserole dish…drizzle extra sauce into each pepper before replacing top…pour
remaining sauce/meat mixture atop, into dish, etc….add a little extra liquid
(sauce) if necessary…cover….
Bake in oven at 350 degrees for approx. 1 hr.
Serve over/alongside white rice (or perhaps some sauteed squash in season)...
MMMMMM…..
