Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Wash the peppers and cut them in half lengthwise; remove the stems and seeds. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, then place the peppers on top. Bake with the cut side down for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven, flip to cut side up, and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. Bake another 15 minutes until tender.
- Meanwhile, cook the quinoa (or use our Instant Pot quinoa method): Rinse the quinoa and drain it completely, then place it in a saucepan with 2 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer where the water is just bubbling for 17 to 20 minutes until the water has been completely absorbed. (Check by pulling back the quinoa with a fork to see if water remains.) Turn off the heat and let sit with the lid on to steam for at least 5 minutes.
- Mince the garlic, shallot and parsley. Chop the pistachios. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the garlic, shallot and red pepper flakes and sauté 1 to 2 minutes until the shallot is translucent and the garlic is fragrant. Remove from the heat, then stir in the cooked quinoa, pistachios, 1/4 cup parsley, paprika, oregano, lemon juice and zest, sea salt and black pepper. Taste and add another few pinches of salt to taste. Spoon the filling into the roasted pepper halves. Garnish with a small sprinkling of remaining parsley and feta cheese crumbles. Serve any additional filling on the side.

THE BEST STUFFED PEPPERS
We've made this classic easier and faster by using the microwave to par-cook the peppers, saving you about 45 minutes of cook time! This is a great recipe to use up leftover rice. Be sure to really pile in the filling (mounding it is ok) as it will shrink as it cooks.

Steps:
- If your peppers don't sit upright on your cutting board, trim about 1/8-inch off the bottoms to even them out so they can stand without falling over. Cut the top off each pepper about 1/2-inch down. Remove and discard the stems, then finely chop the remaining flesh from the tops. Scoop out the seeds and as much of the membranes as you can. Place the peppers in a large microwave-safe bowl with 1/2 cup water. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave on high power for 12 minutes. Carefully uncover and let them sit until ready to assemble.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Spread the beef in an even layer and cook undisturbed until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Toss and continue to cook, breaking up any clumps with the back of a spoon and scraping up any browned bits from the pan until the meat is lightly browned all over, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the browned meat to a large bowl with a slotted spoon.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and add the reserved chopped peppers, onions, garlic, thyme, 4 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender but not browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until falling apart and much of the liquid has evaporated, about 7 minutes.
- Stir in the tomato paste and cook, stirring constantly until brick red colored, about 1 minute. Stir in the wine and cook until the mixture is reduced, very thick and no smell of alcohol remains, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the broth and bring to a boil. Transfer to the bowl with the beef. Stir in the rice until completely combined. (The mixture will be wet.) Season with salt and pepper.
- Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
- Place the peppers cut-side up in a 13-by-9-inch baking dish. Spoon the filling into the peppers, gently pressing it in with the back of a spoon. Be careful not to overstuff and split the sides of the peppers. Bake for 15 minutes. Then top with the cheese and continue baking until the filling is heated through and the cheese is browned in spots, 10 to 12 minutes.

- Stuffed Bell Peppers Recipe. Stuffed peppers are always a treat. They have a wonderful flavor from the pepper itself, but then you stuff them with rice, well-seasoned ground beef, and tomato sauce, and you can practically turn these into a meal.
- Stuffed Pepper Casserole. If you want all the spice and flavor of stuffed bell peppers but need an even shorter prep time, try this stuffed pepper casserole instead.
- Unstuffed Pepper Skillet. The unstuffed pepper skillet is similar to the stuffed pepper casserole, but you can fix it in only a fraction of the time – 20 minutes, to be exact.
- Roasted Bell Peppers With Olive Oil. If you’ve never had plain old roasted bell peppers, you don’t know what you’re missing. Want to save this recipe? Enter your email below and we'll send the recipe straight to your inbox!
- Grilled Vegetable Skewers. No matter what veggies you use, grilled vegetable skewers always make a delightful side dish, especially if you’re using fresh-from-the-garden summer vegetables.
- Bell Pepper Nachos. Before you skip over this recipe because you already know how to add bell peppers to your nachos, take a second to check it out. These aren’t nachos with bell peppers.
- Bell Pepper Pizzas. These mini pizzas on bell peppers are just as fun as the nachos. They’re also a sound choice for those on a low-carb diet. Start with your bell pepper base.
- Pepper and Onion Quiche. This quiche is mouth-wateringly good with its crispy crust and gorgeous golden cheese and egg filling, and it has such a unique mixture of tastes.
- Stuffed Pepper Soup. So far, we’ve turned stuffed peppers into a casserole and a skillet dish; now, let’s try stuffed pepper soup. Actually, I’ve already tried it, and it’s just as yummy as it sounds.
- Creamy Roasted Red Pepper Rigatoni. Who doesn’t love a one-pot meal that takes 5 minutes of prep and only 15 more to cook? Plus, it’s vegetarian-friendly and something the whole family loves.
