Greek Stuffed Peppers are Delicious and Good For You Too!

I developed Greek Stuffed Peppers becuase of my love for Mediterranean food. The flavors of lamb, red peppers, sundried tomatoes, mint, dill and feta cheese come together to make this a unique stuffed pepper meal that is worthy of being served to guests but don't wait for guests, make it any day to enjoy the flavors of the Mediterranean. I have made this recipe with ground turkey and it is equally as delicious.

Greek Stuffed Peppers

INGREDIENTS

DIRECTIONS

Defrost the spinach and squeeze dry.

Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.

Boil the water and cook the couscous as per package directions.

Brown the ground lamb, onion and garlic over medium heat. Drain the fat and add the spinach, Worchester sauce, sundried tomatoes, salt, garlic powder, italian seasoning, oregano, black pepper, dill, mint and parsley. Stir the seasonings well into the meat mixture. Add all but 2 tablespoons tomato sauce reserving the remaining sauce for the topping. Add the rice and mix well. Taste for salt and pepper and add per your taste. Simmer for 5 minutes.

Place red peppers on baking sheet and stuff each pepper with the beef and rice mixture. Mix the remaining tomato sauce, tomato paste and water together and top each pepper with the sauce mixture. Top each pepper with the parmesan and then the feta cheese.

Bake the peppers covered with foil for 30 minutes. (keep the foil from touching the cheese or it will pull the cheese right off.) Bake the pepper uncovered for approximately 10-15 minutes or until peppers are soft.
