Barley-Stuffed Peppers
1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
2/3 cup quick-cooking barley
2 large red, yellow, and/or green sweet peppers (about 1 pound)
1 egg, beaten
3/4 cup shredded reduced-fat mozzarella cheese (3 ounces)
1 large tomato, peeled, seeded, and chopped (about 3/4 cup)
1/2 cup shredded zucchini
1/3 cup soft bread crumbs
1 tablespoon snipped fresh basil or 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, crushed
1 teaspoon snipped fresh rosemary or 1/8 teaspoon dried rosemary,
crushed
1/8 teaspoon onion salt
Several dashes bottled hot pepper sauce
Fresh rosemary (optional)
Dried red chili peppers (optional)
In a medium saucepan combine the broth, mushrooms, and barley. Bring
to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 12 to 15 minutes or
until barley is tender. Drain thoroughly.
Cut sweet peppers in half lengthwise; remove seeds and membranes. If
desired, precook pepper halves in boiling water for 3 minutes. Drain
on paper towels.
In a medium mixing bowl stir together the egg, 1/2 cup of the cheese,
the tomato, zucchini, bread crumbs, basil, rosemary, onion salt, and
bottled hot pepper sauce. Stir in cooked barley mixture. Place
peppers, cut side up, in a 2-quart rectangular baking dish. Spoon
barley mixture into the pepper halves.
Bake stuffed peppers, covered, in a 350 degree oven for 20 to 25
minutes or until filling is heated through. Sprinkle remaining cheese
over the peppers. Return to oven; bake 2 minutes more. Carefully
transfer peppers to a serving platter. If desired, garnish with fresh
rosemary and dried red chili peppers.

Stuffed Green Peppers:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Place a rack in a baking dish. Try yellow, purple, orange, or gold peppers, too!
Four good sized round peppers.Wash, remove top and inner core. If the pepper doesn't stand up, cut off a little of the bottom to make it stand up on the rack in the baking dish.
Brown ground beef, venison, turkey, chicken, or tofu (scrambled eggs work well too.) Drain fat. Mix with a cup or so cooked white or brown rice. Season with salt and pepper.
Stuff into peppers. Pour about 1/2 inch of water in pepper pan. Place in oven until peppers are tender.
Meanwhile, back in the forest...open up a can of stewed tomatoes. Add a tablespoon molasses. Season with herbs like thyme and rosemary. Bring to a boil over medium high heat, lower flame, and simmer for 10 minutes.
Remove peppers from dish to serving platter. Pass sauce at the table.
Serves 4.

I just made stuffed peppers with veggies from my garden. For the filling though, I used 1 1/2 lbs ground beef (lean) 2 cups of cooked minute rice, a chopped onion, an egg and a couple tablespoons of melted butter. I mixed all this by hand and seasoned it with salt and pepper. I stuffed my peppers with that, put them in a baking dish and covered them with a plain tomato sauce that I made in the blender from the garden tomatoes. You have to blanche the tomatoes in boiling water to loosen the skins to peel but otherwise this is all very easy to do. Bake covered, 350 degrees 45 minutes.

I once used this sauce as a dip with fried aubergines and it was a HIT. Try it with your stuffed peppers.
Sweet and Sour Sauce
Yields about 1/2 cup
INGREDIENTS:
* 1/3 cup white or rice vinegar
* 4 TB brown sugar
* 1 TB ketchup
* 1 tsp soy sauce
* 2 teaspoons cornstarch mixed with 4 teaspoons water
PREPARATION:
Mix the vinegar, brown sugar, ketchup, and soy sauce together and bring to a boil in a small pot. Mix together the cornstarch and water, add to the other ingredients and stir to thicken.
(If desired, you can add 1 green pepper, cut into chunks, and pineapple chunks or any other ingredient you used to stuff your peppers as desired after adding the cornstarch.For a thicker sauce, increase the cornstarch to 4 teaspoons while keeping the water constant.)

Actually the peppers can be any color - I usually use red or orange.
You need:
1 pound Ground meat - I use Chicken or Turkey (my girlfriend uses vegan)
dash paprika, curry powder, and cumin
1 chopped onion
1 clove chopped garlic
1 can diced tomatoes (drained)
Salt and Pepper to taste
In a large pot, top the bell peppers with water and boil for 10 min
In a frying pan on medium heat brown the ground meat, garlic and onion.
While it is browning add a dash of the paprika, cumin, and curry, some salt and pepper.
When the meat is cooked through add the diced tomatoes and warm.
When the peppers are done, drain them and stuff them with the meat and serve.

1 small onion, chopped fine
1 lb. ground chuck
1 c. rice, cooked
1/2 c. canned diced tomatoes, drain & reserve juice
