Ingredients

  • 4 Capsicums
  • 2 cups Cooked Rice of Choice
  • 1 cup Textured Soy Protein or chickpeas
  • 1/2 cup Light Coconut Milk
  • 1/2 cup Capsicums chopped
  • 4 tbsp Crushed Tomatoes
  • 1 medium Onion chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp Soy Sauce choose wheat-free if GF
  • 1 tbsp Oil sesame or coconut
  • 1 tbsp Peanut Butter
  • 1/2 tbsp Curry Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • Salt & Pepper to taste

Toppings

  • Vegan Cheese Sauce or vegan cheese
  • Chopped Chives

Instructions

  • Cook your favorite rice according to packaging instructions. You will need 2 cups of cooked rice for this recipe.
  • Soak 1 cup of textured soy protein (TVP) in a bowl with 1 cup of hot water (or vegetable broth) and set aside for 5-10 minutes (skip this step if you are going to use chickpeas). The TVP will begin to fluff and absorb all the liquid.
  • With a knife, carefully remove the “lids” of the 4 bell peppers and also discard all the seeds.
  • Heat oil in a skillet, add the chopped onion, minced garlic, the textured soy protein and fry for 4-5 minutes over medium heat.
  • Add the chopped 1/2 cup bell peppers, crushed tomatoes, soy sauce, peanut butter, spices (curry, smoked paprika), salt/pepper to taste and coconut milk to the skillet and let simmer for about 5 minutes on low-medium heat. Stir occasionally.
  • Now add the cooked rice and check if the mixture needs more salt/pepper/spices.
  • Fill the 4 peppers with the rice/veggie mixture, add your favorite vegan cheese to taste and cook in the oven at 190 degrees C (about 375 degrees F) for about 30-45 minutes. You will probably have some leftovers of the rice/veggie mixture.
  • Enjoy your stuffed vegan peppers!
