Savory Stuffed Peppers Recipe




Ingredients:

4 medium green peppers
2/3 cup split peas
2 1/4 cup water
1 package vegetable broth
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1 cup sliced mushrooms
2 to 3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 cup couscous
2 medium tomatoes, seeded and

Remove tops and seeds from green peppers. Stand pepper cups upright in an
8" microwave-safe baking dish.

Wash and pick over peas. Place in a medium saucepan with 1-1/4 cups of the
water and the vegetable broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and
simmer for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, saute onion, mushrooms and garlic in olive
oil until onions are tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in peas
along with seasonings. Set aside.

In a small saucepan, bring the remaining 1 cup water to a boil, add
couscous and remove from heat. Cover; let stand for 5 minutes. Stir into
pea- vegetable mixture along with half of the tomatoes. Stuff peppers with
mixture. Cover and microwave on high for 5 minutes. Top with remaining
tomatoes.
