Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • ½ cup brown rice

  • 1 cup water

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 4 green onions, chopped

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 (12 ounce) jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped

  • 1 large tomato, diced

  • 1 teaspoon dried basil

  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 4 large red bell peppers, tops and seeds removed

  • 8 teaspoons crumbled feta cheese, divided

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  2. Bring rice and water to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, 45 to 50 minutes.

  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat; cook and stir green onions and garlic until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add artichoke hearts, tomato, basil, red pepper flakes, and black pepper. Cook and stir artichoke mixture until heated through, about 5 minutes. Stir in rice and remove from heat.

  4. Crumble about 1 teaspoon feta cheese into the bottom of each red bell pepper. Spoon rice mixture into each red bell pepper to fill halfway. Crumble another teaspoon feta cheese over filling; top with more filling. Place red bell peppers in a glass baking dish.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until feta cheese has melted and red bell peppers are slightly tender, about 15 minutes.

Cook's Note:

If you like a less crisp pepper, add 5-10 minutes to cooking time.
