Stuffedbaked Bell Peppers With Chickpea Mash Eggs And Harissa Recipes

BAKED STUFFED BELL PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F.
• In a large bowl combine ground beef, cooked rice, minced pepper, minced onion, minced garlic, Italian seasonings, beaten egg, breadcrumbs and salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste.
• Use your hands to mix ingredients well.
• Using a 1/2 cup measuring cup - measure out a 1/2 cup meat mixture for each halved pepper and fill.
• *At this point, if you are using this recipe for OAMC you can wrap your peppers in saranwrap, then place them in a zip-lock bag and store them in the freezer for later use.*.
• Place peppers in a baking dish and cover with your favorite jarred or homemade spaghetti sauce (about 1 cup per pepper half).
• Cover and allow to cook 90 minutes (Please note that I have only ever made 4 halves at one time - so the cooking time could be longer if making 6 or more at the same time.).
• After 90 minutes, check to see how far along the peppers are cooked; if they are nearly done uncover and baste with some of the spaghetti sauce from the baking dish (as mentioned above, if baking many peppers all at one time there is the possibility that they will not be as far along at this point - please continue to bake covered an additional 30 to 45 minutes and then proceed with the following instructions.).
• Bake an additional 20 minutes then top each pepper half with shredded cheese and continue baking another 10 to 15 minutes.
• Serve along side freshly baked bread and a salad, enjoy!

CHICKPEA, RED PEPPER, EGG & FETA HASH

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a frying pan. Cook the onion for 12-15 mins until starting to caramelise. Add the chickpeas, cumin and peppers and season well, then cook for a few mins until hot throughout.
• Create spaces in the pan for each of the eggs. Crack the eggs into the pan, then cover and cook for 2-3 mins, or until the eggs are done to your liking. Scatter over the feta, lemon zest and mint. Serve alongside the flatbreads, if you like.

RED BELL PEPPER HARISSA

Steps:

• Char peppers over gas flame or in broiler until blackened on all sides. Wrap in paper bag and let stand 10 minutes. Peel, seed and chop peppers.
• Whisk tomato paste and vinegar to blend in medium bowl. Gradually whisk in oil, the salt. Mix in bell peppers and jalapeño. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead. Cover; refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before serving.)

HARISSA CHICKPEA STEW

Steps:

• Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in ras el hanout, harissa, and salt. Cook about 30 seconds more. Add tomatoes, chickpeas, and broth. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, covered, until flavors meld and ingredients are heated through, about 10 minutes. Stir in cilantro.
• Serve stew over rice. Top with an egg and sprinkle with za'atar.

CHICKPEA STUFFED BELL PEPPERS

Steps:

• Heat a wide heavy-based frying pan over medium heat. Add the oil and heat for 10 seconds or so, then add the onion and fry, stirring occasionally, until well-softened.
• Tip in the spinach, sprinkle over the curry powder, raise the heat and stir, toss and fry until the liquid has mostly cooked out of the spinach and it is collapsed but still moist. Transfer to a large bowl.
• Add the garlic, tomatoes, vegetable or tomato puree, breadcrumbs, chickpeas and peppers.
• Season with salt and black pepper and mix well; it should be reasonably moist but not dripping. Stuff the filling firmly into the pepper halves, mounding up on top.
• Bake in a low-sided dish at 400F for about an hour, turning the dish around once and lowering the heat towards the end if the peppers are getting too browned. This length of time makes the peppers deliciously soft - if you like them firmer, reduce the time.

STUFFED/BAKED BELL PEPPERS WITH CHICKPEA MASH, EGGS AND HARISSA RECIPE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil (or coat pan with cooking spray). 2. Slice a lengthwise piece off each pepper so stem and bottom remain intact; reserve cut pieces of pepper. Carefully scoop out membrane and seeds from peppers (use a melon baller if you have one) and set on prepared pan, cut-side up. Loosely cover peppers with aluminum foil; bake 15 minutes. 3. Meanwhile, dice reserved pepper pieces. Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; warm over medium-low heat. Add diced pepper, onion, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper to skillet; saute until tender, 5-10 minutes. Add turmeric, garlic powder, cumin and cinnamon; toss to combine and heat for 30 seconds. Add spinach and chickpeas; toss to combine and remove from heat. 4. Remove peppers from oven. Reduce heat to 375°F. Divide chickpea mixture evenly among peppers; crack an egg onto each pepper, and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Bake, uncovered, until egg whites set completely, about 20 minutes. Serve sprinkled with chives (or cilantro); spoon harissa over top. 5. Serving size: 1 stuffed pepper
