Ingredients
- 4 bell peppers any color
- 2 cups prepared rice of your choice
- 2 cup of your favorite fresh sausage taken out of the casing I used my own homemade pork fennel sausage but I will show you that one another time
- 2 cups blanched and refreshed spinach
- 2 cups puree tomato
- Block of Fontina cheese
- Parmesan Cheese
- Kosher salt fresh cracked pepper
Directions
Start by cutting the peppers into half and scoop out the seeds and membrane.
Now combine the rice, spinach and take the sausage out or the casing and add that as well season with salt and pepper.
Mix together and check for seasoning by frying a small ball of it adjust salt pepper as needed.
Now take the mixture and stuff it into the pepper half way.
Take a nice wedge of the Fontina cheese and put it in the middle this is a good melty cheese and will distribute nice inside the pepper. Now fill the pepper to the top with the rest of the stuffing.
Cover and bake in a 375degree oven for about 30-40 min until the pepper are soft and you can see the fat from the sausage bubbling.
To finish add a good dollop of the tomato puree and shave some Parmesan cheese on top I also added chili flakes. Return to the oven uncovered and finish baking for about 7-10 min until you see the tomato sauce bubbling and the cheese melting.
Take out and important, let it rest for at least 5 min before serving.
There will be some fat from the sausage in the bottom of the pan and you can add a teaspoon to each pepper if you want to make it that much more richer in flavor, don’t think that restaurants don’t do this or even finish it with butter.
Serve with a nice crisp salad to cut the richness of the pepper.
Easy stuff kids and most delicious!
