PEPPERS STUFFED WITH RICE, ZUCCHINI AND HERBS
I used a medium-grain rice that I buy at my local Iranian market for these peppers. The package says that the rice is great for stuffing vegetables because it doesn't swell too much, and it's right. It goes into the peppers uncooked and steams in the oven, inside the peppers (so it's important to cook them long enough and cover the baking dish). Make sure that you spoon the sauce left in the baking dish over the rice once the peppers are done. These are good hot or at room temperature. I like to use green peppers.

Steps:
- Prepare the peppers. With a sharp paring knife, cut away the tops, then reach in and pull out the membranes and seeds.
- Toss the shredded zucchini with salt and let drain in a colander for 20 minutes. Take up handfuls of zucchini and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Transfer to a medium bowl and add the garlic, mint, parsley or dill, and rice. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in 1/4 cup of the olive oil and let sit for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Oil a baking dish large enough to accommodate all of the peppers. Fill the peppers about 3/4 of the way full with the stuffing, and replace the caps. Place in the oiled baking dish. Mix together the tomato paste and water with the remaining olive oil and the lemon juice. Season to taste. Add to the baking dish. Cover the dish with foil. Place in the oven and bake 45 minutes to an hour, until the peppers are soft. Remove from the heat and allow to cool to room temperature, or serve hot. Remove the tops of the peppers and spoon the sauce in the baking dish over the rice before serving.

BROWN RICE SALAD WITH PEPPERS AND ZUCCHINI
This is tangy and vegetable-loaded salad that I put together out of the pantry and frige. I enjoyed it enough to post it so that I can remember it again later.

Steps:
- Cook brown rice according to package directions (if you wish, add a 1/2 a vegetable cube in place of any salt listed in the cooking instructions) and set aside to cool.
- Chop vegetables and cheese and toss with cooled, cooked rice. I use a mandoline slicer to get a variety of shapes and textures to my vegetables. Use whatever vegetables appeal to you.
- In a small jar make vinaigrette by mixing the salt, pepper, vinegar, mustard, garlic and oregano together and then adding the oil.
- This will actually make more dressing than is needed for the salad, I think, but it is a solid vinaigrette that performs well on other salads.
- Dress the salad to taste and serve immediately.
- This salad can also enhanced by chicken, tuna or chopped egg.
