day 10 – stuffed peppers

07 Jun

It seems that my fast go to breakfast on the days when I have to wake up and run out the door, is cold cereal with fruit. And, of course, coffee!

One of my students works in a bakery, and she brought me a whole slew of vegan goodies to try… This box is NOT going to survive long. Thanks, Kara!

The evening called for another easy recipe… I started with some soup and pita with hummus…

Easy & Delicious Stuffed Peppers

[from Oh She Glows]

Ingredients

  • 2 red peppers
  • 1.5 cups uncooked lentils (estimate only!)
  • 1 cup pasta sauce
  • 3-4 tbsp sweet BBQ sauce
  • Sea salt, pepper to taste

Directions

Cook lentils according to package directions. While the lentils are cooking, preheat the oven to 350F. Cut top top of the peppers off and carefully remove the inner seeds to your liking. Pop the peppers onto a baking sheet and into the oven to pre-cook for about 20 minutes while the lentils are cooking. Remove the peppers from the oven and set aside. Rinse the lentils with a colander and rinse out the pot that you cooked the lentils in. Place the drained lentils back into the pot and add the pasta sauce, BBQ sauce, and seasonings. Stir well. Fill the two peppers with the lentil mixture and place them carefully onto the baking sheet. Place into the oven for another 15-30 minutes checking it every 10 minutes.
