Soyrizo And Rice Stuffed Peppers Recipes

THE BEST STUFFED PEPPERS

Steps:

• If your peppers don't sit upright on your cutting board, trim about 1/8-inch off the bottoms to even them out so they can stand without falling over. Cut the top off each pepper about 1/2-inch down. Remove and discard the stems, then finely chop the remaining flesh from the tops. Scoop out the seeds and as much of the membranes as you can. Place the peppers in a large microwave-safe bowl with 1/2 cup water. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave on high power for 12 minutes. Carefully uncover and let them sit until ready to assemble.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Spread the beef in an even layer and cook undisturbed until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Toss and continue to cook, breaking up any clumps with the back of a spoon and scraping up any browned bits from the pan until the meat is lightly browned all over, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the browned meat to a large bowl with a slotted spoon.
• Reduce the heat to medium. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and add the reserved chopped peppers, onions, garlic, thyme, 4 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender but not browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until falling apart and much of the liquid has evaporated, about 7 minutes.
• Stir in the tomato paste and cook, stirring constantly until brick red colored, about 1 minute. Stir in the wine and cook until the mixture is reduced, very thick and no smell of alcohol remains, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the broth and bring to a boil. Transfer to the bowl with the beef. Stir in the rice until completely combined. (The mixture will be wet.) Season with salt and pepper.
• Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
• Place the peppers cut-side up in a 13-by-9-inch baking dish. Spoon the filling into the peppers, gently pressing it in with the back of a spoon. Be careful not to overstuff and split the sides of the peppers. Bake for 15 minutes. Then top with the cheese and continue baking until the filling is heated through and the cheese is browned in spots, 10 to 12 minutes.

SOYRIZO AND RICE STUFFED PEPPERS

Steps:

• -Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• -Prepare the cup of rice according to packaging. While boiling the water for the rice, add the bouillon cube, it will dissolve into the rice
• -Dice onions in vegetable or olive oil to desired size. Sauté for a couple minutes,
• not too brown. Add garlic.
• -Remove Soyrizo from its casing and saute until brown.
• -Use a knife to core the peppers. Rinse out the seeds and use a spoon to get out the white soft parts on the interior of the pepper.
• -I add half of the rice to the Soyrizo-onion mixture and sauté it for a few minutes once Soyrizo is almost done, then I use the other half of the rice to layer inside of the pepper.
• If you desire, you can mix it all together and just stuff to stuff the peppers.
• -Place on a deep pan and cook in oven for 10-25 minutes, depending on how well you like the pepper cooked. Cooking it longer gives it a browner, seared look.
• Cooking it shorter makes it warm yet crunchy, also still holding its nutrients.
