Ellens Vegan Stuffed Peppers Recipes

ELLEN'S VEGAN STUFFED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Saute onion and garlic until onion is almost clear but not browning, about 5 minutes. Add buckwheat; stir until coated, about 1 minute. Add broth and bring to a boil. Simmer until liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Add tomatoes, parsley, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir until heated through, about 3 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Remove tops and seeds from peppers. Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add peppers, cover, and steam until tender, about 5 minutes.
• Stand peppers up in a casserole dish and fill them with the buckwheat mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven until browned, about 15 minutes.

VEGAN STUFFED PEPPERS WITH RICE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add bell peppers and cook until soft, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and sprinkle insides with salt. Set aside for 10 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking dish with aluminum foil.
• Combine vegan ground beef, onion, diced tomatoes, 2/3 cup broth, garlic powder, chili powder, black pepper, and salt in a large skillet over medium-high heat and bring to a high simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until all but 1/3 cup of liquid has steamed off or been absorbed, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Combine water, 1 cup broth, and Spanish rice package in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook for 8 minutes. Add black beans and corn; stir to combine. Add "ground beef" mixture with enough liquid to keep rice stuffing moist. Mix in nutritional yeast and stir until well combined.
• Drain any excess water from peppers. Stuff with rice mixture using a spoon, packing filling down tightly. Place stuffed peppers in the prepared baking pan and spoon extra rice mixture around them. Pour tomato sauce over peppers and rice. Cover with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes. Let peppers sit for 5 minutes before serving.
