How to Make Jasmine Rice Stuffed Bell Peppers

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Cut 4 large bell peppers in half lengthwise.
  3. Remove seeds and membranes, leaving stems intact.
  4. Place peppers cut-side up on a foil-lined baking sheet.
  5. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, and 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced, to the skillet.
  7. Sauté for 5 minutes, or until onion is lightly browned.
  8. Add 1 cup jasmine rice and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
  9. Stir in 1 ¾ cups vegetable broth.
  10. Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes, or until rice is tender.
  11. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  12. In a large bowl, combine the cooled rice mixture, 1 cup tomato sauce, ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, ½ cup chopped fresh parsley, and ½ teaspoon salt. Mix well.
  13. Spoon about ½ cup of the rice mixture into each pepper half.
  14. Pour the remaining 1 cup tomato sauce evenly over the stuffed peppers.
  15. Cover the baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes.
  16. Uncover, sprinkle with the remaining ½ cup Parmesan cheese, and bake for another 3 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
