Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Cut off the tops of each pepper. Pull out the ribs and seeds and discard. Discard the stems and dice the pepper tops. Set aside. Lightly trim the bottoms of each pepper so they can stand up.
- Stand the peppers up on a baking sheet or large skillet and drizzle with oil. Season with salt and pepper then roast until they begin to soften, 5 to 8 minutes.
- Heat the oil in a medium saucepot over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, jalapenos and onions and cook until the onions are translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the diced pepper tops and eggplant and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and begin to caramelize, about 3 minutes. Stir in the rice and mix to combine. Add the wine and cook until it is reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes. Add 2 cups water and the crushed tomatoes and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until the rice is creamy and al dente, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Remove the saucepot from the heat and stir in the mascarpone and basil. Taste for seasoning, adding additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 400 degrees F. Fill each pepper with the rice mixture, then stand them up on the same baking sheet or large skillet and top with the mozzarella. Bake until the cheese is melted and the peppers are cooked through, about 5 minutes. Serve topped with more torn basil and a drizzle of oil.

CHEESY SHRIMP-STUFFED CORNO DI TORO PEPPERS
Here are some ideas for using what is at-hand to create an excellent stuffed pepper dish. I used some exotic ingredients, left-over from a party, in the original recipe; ingrediets such as Boursin cheese and corno di toro peppers, but I have translated them into their more usual counterparts for this recipe. For example, fully ripe red Corno di Toro (or Bull's Horn) peppers, which come from my garden, have a complex flavor both sweet and mildly spicy. Substitute poblanos for more heat and spice, or use hot banana or Anaheim peppers for even more heat. If you prefer mild peppers, substitute sweet Italian (aka Italianelles or Italian frying peppers), bells, or cubanelle peppers. I am indebted to TheTravelCook for her permission to use this recipe from the blog Brainfood.

Steps:
- Place poblanos or cubanelles under a broiler on high, in the oven, or on a very hot grill. (NOTE: Roast or grill 3 large red bell peppers while you roast the poblanos if you are using the Roasted Red Pepper sauce I recommend.) Broil or grill the peppers, rotating until the outer skin is charred all around, but the peppers are still slightly undercooked.
- Place charred peppers in a brown paper bag, closing the end to retain the steam, and allow to cool fro at least 5 minutes to a temperature that you can handle comfortably. Peel away and discard the skin that has charred on the outer surface.
- Using a sharp knife and being careful not to cut all the way through the stem and bottom ends of the pepper, make a vertical slit along one side. Carefully remove the seed strings and core through this slit.
- Chop the garlic, jalapeno, red bell pepper, and shallot; let them stand undisturbed on the cutting board or in a medium sized mixing bowl for about 5 minutes.
- Mince the cilantro and basil and add to the mixing bowl. Shred the mozzarella cheese, adding it and the Boursin to the mixing bowl. Stir well. Add rice, chopped spicy shrimp, shredded cheese, and herbs. Stir to mix well.
- Spray or rub a shallow baking dish with olive oil. Place a prepared pepper on the cutting board with cut side up; spoon stuffing inside, roll to close opening, and place in the baking dish. Continue until all the poblanos are stuffed. If there is extra stuffing it may be mixed with black beans and fresh tomatoes for a lunch salad.
- Bake in a preheated 350 F for 15-20 minutes.
- To serve as main dish: Place 2 peppers on each plate; drizzle with roasted red pepper sauce.
- To serve as appetizers: Arrange all the peppers on a serving dish. Either drizzle red pepper sauce over them on the serving plate, or provide a small dish of red pepper sauce and small ladle for self service.

CHEESY STUFFED BELL PEPPERS
I'm the only person in my house that love stuffed bell peppers. My grown son and his wife like them and some of my friends. However, I don't make them a lot but when I do love them. They normally aren't that pretty but oh so tasty!The pictures I'm showing is just one that was left over after I sent the casserole dish with three others to my daughter in law.

Steps:
- Follow the directions on the rice mix. The Spanish rice mix I did not use but a 4 tablespoons of the diced tomatoes when making the rice. I made sure that the rice was tender though before I mixed it with the meat. Do not mix it with the meat until after the meat is done. Set the rice aside.
- In a skillet cook meat, onions, celery and seasonings until vegetables are tender and meat is not pink. Make sure you chopped the meat into small pieces. Drain. Use a cup plus of rice and mix with meat. It is ready to be stuffed in the prepared clean bell peppers.Place the bell peppers in a greased casserole dish. Pour the tomato sauce over stuffed bell peppers. Cover with foil. Bake on 375 degrees until the bell peppers are fairly soft.
- Remove foil and top each one with a cheese slice. Return to oven until cheese has melted. This is great warmed over the next day!
