Recipe by N1COLE Italian style stuffed bell peppers for the vegetarian (can easily be prepared vegan). Even my meat-eating husband loved these.

Ingredients

1 cup uncooked brown rice 2 cups water 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 clove garlic, minced 1 (12 ounce) package extra-firm tofu, drained and diced 1 3/4 cups marinara sauce, divided salt to taste ground black pepper to taste 2 red bell peppers, halved and seeded 2 orange bell peppers, halved and seeded 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese 8 slices tomato

Instructions

Place rice and water in a pot and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer 45 minutes, or until tender. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and stir in garlic and tofu. Cook about 5 minutes. Mix in 1/4 cup marinara sauce, season with salt and pepper, and continue to cook and stir until tofu is evenly brown. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Using a wooden spoon or spatula, press an equal amount of rice into each pepper half. Layer rice with remaining marinara sauce, and 1/2 the cheese. Press equal amounts of tofu into the pepper halves. Place 1 tomato slice on each pepper, and top peppers with remaining mozzarella. Arrange stuffed peppers in a baking dish. Bake 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until cheese is melted. Serve 1/2 of each color pepper to each person.
