Cauliflower Stuffed Green Bell Peppers


Delicious and healthy, the two main ingredients in this recipe are full of nutrients our body needs. Green bell peppers are full of fiber, folate, and Vitamin K, while cauliflower contains lots of Vitamin C. Here's the list of ingredients you will need:

-1 small head cauliflower (cut in pieces and steamed a little)

-3 or 4 medium-sized green bell peppers

-shredded cheddar or another kind of good melting cheese like monterrey jack is fine

-salt and pepper

First, cut the green bell peppers in half and place (cut side down and in a single layer) under broiler inside oven for about 15 minutes until skin is charred all around. Steam the cauliflower pieces for a few minutes only and when ready put in a bowl together with the cheese and some salt and pepper. Remove the peppers from the oven and then peel the skin off. ( I place them in a glass bowl and cover them with saran wrap or put them inside a ziploc bag for a few minutes so that the steam will help the skin come off). Now place the peppers again on a baking tray cut side up and fill them with the cauliflower mixture. Add a little extra cheese on top of each one and place back in the oven, baking this time at around 400 for about 12 more minutes. I used a tomato sauce that you can make if you feel like it with just tomatoes and oregano, and placed them on top. This is great with, again...rice. I love rice!
