A flavorful and nutritious dish featuring bell peppers stuffed with wild rice, vegetables, and spices.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large bell peppers (any color)
  • 1 cup wild rice, uncooked
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 carrot, diced
  • 1 stalk celery, diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove seeds. Set aside.
  3. Rinse wild rice under cold water. In a saucepan, bring vegetable broth to a boil. Add wild rice, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes or until tender.
