Stuffed vegetables and fruits are a treat and a feast for the senses. Delicious food served in brightly colored edible containers are very attractive and appealing. Peppers, squashes, melons, citrus fruits, and any other fruit or vegetable with a thick rind can be used as a container. With more and more produce coming into season, now is the best time to prepare some of these wonderful treats.

I bought a bunch of peppers as they were on sale this week. Stuffed Peppers with Brown Rice make a lovely and tasty side dish, one that the family enjoys. Although this dish is vegan, a little minced meat can easily be added for the carnivores out there. For a crunchy top, add some panko or cheese in the last five minutes of baking.

    I’m browing through foodbuzz…buzzed you, and just had to check out your delicious stuffed peppers with brown rice. Yumm!!!
    I love stuffed peppers, and now I want to make it with the brown rice, as well. So healthy, and a comforting, and satisfying old fashioned dish, with a “new twist” to it:DDD

      I also need to shed a few pounds gained over the winter with “heavier” food. I must cook “lighter” foods as the weather warms up.

    So cute! I see, you parboil the bell pepper first. I never did that. That will shorten the cooking time. Brilliant! And I love how you use the top of bell peppers and never wasted! 😀

    Wow, you’re on quite a roll with the vegetarian dishes. Not complaining at all though. I’m not much of a meat eater so these dishes are really capturing my attention. This looks healthy and wonderful. Knowing me, I wouldn’t add Panko or cheese, I’d add Panko AND cheese. Teehee.

    Gosh, Biren! I haven’t had stuff peppers since my uni days – my flatmate was a keen cook and I remembered we had this practically everyday for 2 weeks when she was perfecting the technique. She made hers with minced beef, yours is a healthier version and also suitable for vegetarians. Something for me to try for old time sake!

      I simply place the stuffed peppers on a baking dish without any liquid. It should not burn.
