Photo: Southwestern Stuffed Peppers Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 cup white rice
- 2 long mild chile peppers, red or green, cubanelle Italian peppers may be substituted
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup mild or medium prepared taco sauce
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves or flat leaf parsley, for garnish
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced, for garnish
Directions
Preheat a grill pan over high heat.
Bring 2 cups vegetable broth and butter to a boil in a small covered pot. Add rice, reduce heat to low and cook 18 to 20 minutes, or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
Split peppers lengthwise and remove seeds, leaving stems in tact. Grill peppers on hot grill pan for 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Remove from grill and let cool enough to handle.
To a medium skillet over moderate heat, add 1 tablespoon oil and onion. Saute onion 2 or 3 minutes. Add cooked rice to the pan and stir in peas and taco sauce. Season rice with salt and pepper.
Load up pepper halves with seasoned rice. Top rice filled peppers with chopped cilantro or parsley and scallions.

This receipe was really good! I added more to it though. White wine, onions, red bell pepper and garlic. I think next time I'm going to put more spice to it. It was really fun to make and it was so refreshing and light.

Maybe Rachael never actually tastes the recipes before she is given the OK to cook them, but these were terrible! The filling was not tasty and the peppers did not cook properly on the grill. I am going back to my own way of baking my stuffed peppers. Rachael.....not everything can be done on a grill!

I made these peppers exactly the way Rachael did on the show and in the recipe. The problem is that it's really not the best way to cook them. If you do want to make this dish, I suggest stuffing the peppers and baking them in the oven the way stuffed peppers are traditionally done. I also did not like the combo she used to stuff them and I would do it differently, adjusting the seasoning as well.
