Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

4 large bell peppers (any color)
1 lb ground lamb
1 cup cooked rice
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp ground cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Add ground lamb to the skillet and cook until browned. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Mix in cooked rice, feta cheese, parsley, oregano, cumin, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes, if using.
Stuff each bell pepper with the lamb mixture, pressing down gently to pack it in.
Place the stuffed peppers upright in a baking dish. Pour tomato sauce over the tops.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the filling is heated through.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.

For a lighter option, you can substitute ground turkey or chicken for the lamb. If you want to enhance the Mediterranean flavor, add chopped olives or sun-dried tomatoes to the filling.

Make sure to adjust the cooking time based on the size of your peppers; larger peppers may require a few extra minutes. These stuffed peppers can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days before baking.
