Description

Greek Stuffed Peppers with Feta Cheese are vibrant bell peppers filled with a flavorful mixture of rice, herbs, and tangy feta, baked to perfection for a wholesome and satisfying Mediterranean meal.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 large bell peppers (red, yellow, or green)
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 cup vegetable broth or water

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove seeds and membranes. Set aside.
  3. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté onion and garlic until soft and fragrant.
  4. Add diced tomatoes, cooked rice, parsley, dill, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and cook for 3-4 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in crumbled feta cheese.
  6. Stuff each pepper with the rice mixture and place them upright in a baking dish.
  7. Pour vegetable broth or water into the baking dish around the peppers.
  8. Cover with foil and bake for 35 minutes.
  9. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until peppers are tender and slightly browned.
  10. Serve warm, garnished with extra herbs if desired.

Notes

  • Use a mix of colored bell peppers for a vibrant presentation.
  • Feta cheese adds a tangy flavor but can be substituted with ricotta for a milder taste.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
