How do I prepare the green peppers for stuffing?

Slice the green chili peppers in half lengthwise, remove seeds and ribs, then broil them skin-side up for 7 minutes, flip, and broil for another 7 minutes, adjusting time based on thickness.

What ingredients go into the chili stuffing?

The filling consists of cooked rice, sauteed black beans and green onion, salsa, chopped vine-ripened tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and cayenne.

Can I use less rice in the stuffing?

Yes, the recipe calls for 2 cups of cooked rice in the filling, saving any remainder from the 1 cup uncooked rice for future meals. You can adjust the amount to your preference.

Can I add anything extra to the stuffed chilies?

Yes, the recipe suggests adding vegan cheese and broiling for a couple of extra minutes to melt, then serving with fresh cilantro for added flavor.

How long should I broil the green peppers?

Broil the green peppers for 7 minutes on each side, skin-side up first. The recipe notes that thicker peppers may require an additional 5+ minutes to become tender.

How to Prepare Southwest Style Stuffed Chilies [Vegan]

Turn the oven on the broil setting. While the oven is heating place 1 cup of white rice and 2 cups of water in a rice cooker. Press cook.
While the rice is cooking, slice the green chili peppers in half, lengthwise. Remove the seeds and ribs. Place the peppers on a pan, skin facing upward. Broil 7 minutes. Flip and broil 7 additional minutes. Based on the thickness of the pepper, it may need to go longer. I found two were done, and the others still had to go an additional 5+ minutes.
While the peppers are in the oven, chop the green onion, in a cast iron skillet or (preferred pan) sauté the black beans and green onion in the vegetable broth or water base. Add 1 cup of salsa, the vine ripened tomatoes, and spices. Add 2 cups of the cooked rice, save remainder for future meals. Stir to combine and heat throughout.
Stuff the broiled peppers with filling and serve! Opt to add vegan cheese and broil a couple extra minutes to melt and serve with cilantro.
