Meatless Stuffed Peppers
How about a simple stuffed pepper recipe that you can make quickly in the microwave when youâre in a rush? Hereâs what you need to make this super easy recipe.
- 2-3 Red Peppers (Halved)
- 2 Onion (Sliced thinly )
- 1/2 Can Crushed Tomatoes
- 5 Tbsp Uncooked Rice
- 1/2 Can Kidney Beans
- Make sure you get fresh peppers free from wrinkles and spots. Wash them thoroughly,then place them on a squeaky clean board and start dicing. If you like, you can cut off the pepper seeds with a knife.
- Fill a glass baking dish with a small amount of water and stand the peppers up. Then, cover the dish with a plastic wrap and make holes in the plastic wrap because of the steam.
- Put the baking dish in the microwave and cook for about 6 minutes.
- Remove the water from the dish and leave the peppers in.
- Put rice and water in a bowl and make sure the water is twice as much. Then, add the tomatoes with the liquid and place it in a microwave and wait until the water is visibly absorbed.
- Spoon the tomato mixture into the pepper halves and put a plastic wrap around it. Make some holes to vent the steam and microwave for 4 minutes.
If you only have about 10 minutes and want to make a healthy, protein-packed vegetable side dish, this is the right salad for you. Chickpeas contain a ton of fiber, which helps with digestion and helps to decrease inflammation in the body. Fiber can also decrease the risk of heart disease by lowering cholesterol levels in the blood.

Itâs that easy! If you want, you can add guacamole and some sliced carrots to make it a little more filling, in fact you can add just about any other veggies you have in your fridge, from celery to peppers.
