Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • ½ cup millet

  • 2 cups water

  • 2 cubes vegetable bouillon

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 onion, chopped

  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed

  • ½ pound ground beef

  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste

  • 1 teaspoon paprika

  • 1 teaspoon cumin

  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

  • ¼ cup chopped feta cheese

  • 4 large red bell peppers, tops removed and set aside and seeds removed

Directions

  1. Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Grease a baking dish.

  2. Combine millet, water, and vegetable bouillon in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until water is absorbed, about 15 minutes.

  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion and garlic until onion is tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Add ground beef and cook until beef is crumbly and browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in tomato paste, paprika, cumin, cayenne pepper, and black pepper; stir and simmer to combine flavors, about 5 minutes.

  4. Mix cooked millet, cilantro, and feta cheese into ground beef mixture. Spoon mixture into red bell peppers; place in prepared baking dish.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until peppers are slightly tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Place the tops back on the peppers; bake until peppers are tender, 10 to 15 more minutes.
