Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

10 cubanelle peppers
1 c feta cheese
1/2 c ricotta cheese
1/2 c mizithra cheese
3-4 Tbsp parsley, finely chopped
1 Tbsp heaping,dill, finely chopped
1 small onion,finely chopped
3 Tbsp olive oil for stuffing
pepper, to taste
red pepper flakes (optional)
olive oil for drizzling on peppers

Steps:

  • 1. Wash the peppers, slice the cap off the peppers, and set aside to use later. Scoop out the seeds, carefully though not to break or tear the peppers.
  • 2. In a bowl mix & mash the cheeses with a fork, add the onion, parsley, dill, olive oil, and pepper to your taste. If you like to have a slight kick add some red pepper flakes (I don't always add) Also I don't add salt due to the cheese, especially the feta cheese is a salty cheese. So before stuffing the peppers taste the filling and adjust to your liking.
  • 3. With a small spoon or your fingers (I use my fingers)stuff the peppers with the cheese mixture. Carefully pressing down to completely fill the peppers, to 1/2 inch from the top. Press a small piece of bread into each pepper to keep the cheese from melting out while cooking. Place the caps back on each pepper.
  • 4. Lightly brush a baking or pyrex dish with olive oil and add the peppers, placing them one next to the other. Drizzle the peppers with olive oil.
  • 5. Bake in 350* F preheated oven, on highest rack for about 20 minutes. At 10 minutes turn peppers. When ready, remove from oven and serve! KALI OREXI! ENJOY

Time 1h25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 green peppers, tops and seeds removed
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound ground turkey
1 white onion, chopped
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 ½ teaspoons ground black pepper
1 (15.5 ounce) can sweet corn, drained
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
1 ½ teaspoons ground thyme
1 ½ teaspoons dried rosemary
1 tablespoon crushed fennel seeds
1 cup water
⅓ cup white rice
¼ cup sweet barbeque sauce
1 cup crumbled feta cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Arrange the bell peppers in a casserole dish with the cavities facing upwards.
  • Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook the turkey in the hot oil until completely browned, about 5 minutes. Stir the onion into the turkey; season with salt and pepper. Cook and stir the mixture for 3 minutes. Add the corn, tomatoes, thyme, rosemary, and fennel to the turkey; stir. Pour the water over the mixture and add the rice; mix. Bring the mixture to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until the rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Stir the barbeque sauce through the mixture; remove the skillet from the heat.
  • Spoon enough of the turkey mixture to fill each of the bell peppers about 1/3 of the way full. Divide about half of the feta cheese among the peppers, creating a layer of cheese atop the turkey mixture. Fill the peppers with the remaining turkey mixture and top with the remaining feta cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the peppers are tender, about 45 minutes.
