Wild Rice Stuffed Bell Peppers Ingredients 2 ½ cup 4 ½ cup 2 cups 5 tsp 2 tsp 1¼ tsp ¼ tsp 1¼ cups large bell peppers (red, yellow, or orange) chopped onions garlic cloves, minced wild rice mix (boxed) baby spinach fresh-cut chives or scallions olive oil cajun seasoning salt water or chicken broth shredded carrots and/or finely chopped shiitake mushrooms (optional, but delicious!) Steps :: 1 :: If using un-processed wild rice rather than a mix, soak wild rice in water for 2 hours before mixing with long-grain white rice. Ignore this step if using a mix. :: 2 :: Slice bell peppers in half (remove seeds), chop onions, mince garlic. :: 3 :: Microwave bell peppers 5 minutes or until soft, then set aside. This can also be done while the filling is cooking if you want the peppers to be warm when served. :: 4 :: Add cajun seasoning to onion and garlic and sautee until soft. :: 5 :: Add water/chicken broth, rice mix, and salt; heat until broth reaches a boil. :: 6 :: Let simmer for 15 minutes or until mixture boils (faster if you cover it). :: 7 :: Just before removing from heat, stir in spinach and chives/scallions. :: 8 :: Scoop filling into peppers and serve.
