*****************
George was never interested in desserts, so I aimed for a main course recipe that would have pleased him. I found Stuffed Peppers in a restaurant in Ukraine and made some from Savelia Stechishin's cookbook, but this is my own spicier version -- a family favourite.
STUFFED
PEPPERS
8 to 11 bell peppers: green, red, whatever
½ to 1 cup coarsely chopped Kalamata
olives
½ cup chopped onion
½ to 1 cup finely chopped celery
1 pound ground beef
28 ounce can tomatoes (796 ml)
1 cup water
1 ½ to 2 teaspoons salt
2 to 3 teaspoons chili powder (not the hot cayenne stuff)
¼ tsp black pepper
½ tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 cup rice
About ½ cup grated Cheddar
·
Chop
the onion and celery and set aside.
·
Chop
the olives and set aside.
·
Chop
the tomatoes in a food processor.
·
Start
oven preheating to 325.
·
Brown
the beef with the onion and celery in a Dutch oven. Stir constantly.
·
Add
tomatoes, water, seasonings, olives, and rice to the meat. Bring to a boil.
·
Cover
and bake in oven for 45 minutes. Test to
see if rice is done. Set aside. Turn off oven.
·
Cut
off tops of peppers and remove seeds.
·
Bring
a large pot of water to a boil.
·
Put
peppers into boiling water. Cover. Time 3 minutes as soon as they’re in the pot.
·
Drain
peppers and refresh in cold water. Drain
again.
·
Fill
peppers with the rice. Put them in a
13x9 pan. Sprinkle on the cheddar.
·
40
minutes before you want to serve, start preheating oven to 350.
·
Bake
stuffed peppers for one-half hour. Do
not cover them. If they are crowded in the pan they will need an hour in the oven or they will be cold.
YUM! and Leftovers are wonderful for lunch.
