Stuffed Peppers With Coffee Infused Rice & Meat
Ingredients: 6 large red bell peppers (yellow or green can be used, or mix them up) 4 tablespoons olive oil 1 large red onion, peeled and minced 1/2 pound EACH ground pork and beef 1/2 teaspoons EACH salt and pepper 1/2 cup seedless raisins 2 cups cooked brown rice 1 cup Dunkin’ Donuts Original Blend coffee, brewed 1 egg well beaten 1/4 cup pine nuts (pignoli); (walnuts are a good substitute) 3 tablespoons breadcrumbs
Directions: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Brew the coffee. Place the whole peppers in a very large sauce pan and cover with water; boil for just 2-3 minutes, then drain, and dry carefully. Cut off the stem ends, scoop out the seeds and membrane and throw them away. Set aside the peppers. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil then add the minced onion until it is limp. Add the pork and beef mixture and cook until lightly browned. Beat the egg. Add the salt and pepper, raisins and rice, coffee and egg, and cook over a medium heat briefly, about six to eight minutes. The liquid will be absorbed. With a large serving spoon, scoop a portion of the meat mixture and stuff into the peppers then sprinkle each lightly with the nuts then top with the dry breadcrumbs. Pour about 1/4 to 1/2" of water in a large pan, set the stuffed peppers in the pan gently, and cover the pan with aluminum foil. Bake for 15 minutes. Open the oven and remove the foil cover and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
YIELD: 6 servings
