Steps Cook Recipes Mediterranean Stuffed Peppers using 7 ingredients and 4 steps

Mediterranean Stuffed Peppers - In Greek style stuffed peppers (and throughout the Mediterranean) the peppers must be cooked until fully tender, they can not be crunchy or taste raw in any way. To accomplish this, before they're stuffed, grill the peppers for a few minutes (gas grill or indoor griddle will work) until they gain a nice char all around (great flavor)! These Mediterranean Stuffed Peppers have so much flavor that you won't even miss the meat. The peppers are stuffed with brown rice, garlic, red onion, chickpeas, green olives, sun dried tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, and of course feta. Mediterranean stuffed peppers are filled with delicious spices and are perfect for a family weeknight dinner.

We love stuffed peppers for lunch or dinner.
