When I traveled to Greece, I sampled several vegan versions of stuffed vegetables. Greek rice stuffed peppers was one of my favorites. I switched out the traditional Arborio rice for brown rice to make this a whole grain version. If you like the combination of lemon and dill, you’re going to love these.

Notes

Don’t use green peppers. Green peppers are unripe and much harder. They will not be done in time if you cook them along with red, yellow or orange peppers. Additionally you can substitute white rice for the brown if you like.

  1. The way I tried this recipe left me a little disappointed. I did 2 things differently. I added vegan beef crumbles, and used 2 tbsp dried parsley and 2.5 tbsp dried dill, since I didn\’t want to have to buy fresh and have to waste what was leftover. Apparently you should use 1/4 c dried parsley for 3/4 c fresh, and 12 tsp dried dill for 3/4 c fresh. That would have been way to much to add to the mixture. When done there was no overall flavor, just meh dill and pepper.
