Mushroom and Wild Rice Stuffed Peppers
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 large bell peppers
- 1 cup wild rice
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 oz mushrooms, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Place the peppers in a baking dish and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the wild rice and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
- Add the chopped mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their liquid and start to brown, about 8-10 minutes.
- Stir in the cooked wild rice, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
- Spoon the wild rice and mushroom mixture into the prepared bell peppers, packing it down gently. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top of each stuffed pepper.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the stuffed peppers cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
