I had a lot of leftover items that were getting close to their peak in the fridge so I decided to use them all up on stuffed peppers.
They ended up being delicious, and for having no recipe and never making them before I am pretty happy with the result! and I am also really happy I have one leftover for lunch.
I started with leftover burrito rice that didn't really have enough flavor for burritos but I didn't want to go to waste. Had some parsley and chopped that up, and also tossed in some extra black beans that were also leftover from burrito night.
I also included some onions, fresh garlic, soy meat, and a large amount of parmesan cheese. Also, oregano, basil, red hot chili powder, pepper, and sea salt. (Just a dash of each)
I boiled the peppers for about 5 minutes to get them nice and green,
and then I crammed them full of all the filling.
(Please note, that is not my R&R, my oven currently doesn't work due to a gas leak so I was borrowing a friends kitchen for the meal. Neither rich, nor rare. Yuck.)
Didn't have pasta sauce so I piled on the vodka sauce and added one cup of water and popped them in the over for 20 minutes at 350. Then I put on a nice helping of mozzarella cheese, and put them back in for 25 minutes.
(The final product of course I get the worst photo of.)
Eat, and enjoy!
Edit-- After soaking all night in the extra sauce the leftover pepper was sooo good. I had to microwave it since the oven is broken but I almost like it more the second day!

This looks like a dish we ordered in Rio. Your assemblage looks much better and healthier. It does give one great memories of Carnivale.
