Ingredients:

2 red peppers
240g
1/2 cup brown rice
90g
1.50 cups vegetable broth
360g
1 tsp coconut oil
4.50g
1 onion
70g
2 garlic cloves
6g
4 oz vienna sausage
110g
1 cup tomato sauce
240g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
1 cup mozzarella cheese
110g
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
24g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Peppers:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Slice the tops off the red peppers and remove the seeds and membranes inside. Set aside.
2. Cook the Rice:
- In a medium saucepan, bring 1.5 cups of vegetable broth to a boil.
- Add 1/2 cup brown rice, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 30-35 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the broth is absorbed. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Prepare the Filling:
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tsp of coconut oil over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and chopped Vienna sausage to the skillet, cooking for an additional 3 minutes until the sausage is slightly browned and the garlic is fragrant.
- Stir in the cooked brown rice and 1 cup of tomato sauce. Mix well to combine.
4. Season the Filling:
- Season the filling with a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper. Stir to incorporate the seasonings evenly.
5. Assemble the Stuffed Peppers:
- Place the prepared red peppers in a baking dish, cut-side up.
- Spoon the rice and sausage mixture into each pepper, pressing down lightly to pack the filling.
6. Add Cheese:
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the tops of the filled peppers.
- Follow with a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
7. Bake:
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
8. Serve:
- Carefully remove the stuffed peppers from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.

Tips:

- Choose large peppers for stuffing to ensure you have enough room for all the delicious filling.

- If you don’t have vegetable broth, you can use chicken broth or even water, but the vegetable broth adds extra flavor.

- To make the dish vegetarian, you can substitute the Vienna sausage with a plant-based sausage or additional vegetables like mushrooms.

- For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding herbs like basil or parsley to the filling mixture.

- After stuffing the peppers and adding cheese on top, you can broil them for the last couple of minutes to get a nice golden-brown crust.
