Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Step 2
In a large pot, cook the rice according to the package instructions. In a separate pot, cook the lentils according to package instructions.
- Step 3
In a large skillet, sauté the onion over medium heat until it becomes translucent, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Step 4
Add the cooked rice, cooked lentils, diced tomatoes (with their juices), ¼ cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, black pepper, salt, oregano, thyme, basil, and parsley to a bowl. Mix in the sauteed vegetables until well combined.
- Step 5
Slice the peppers in half and scoop out the seeds and white membranes. I like to keep the steam intact, if give you a larger well to scoop the filling and it just looks nice.
- Step 6
Place the bell pepper halves in a baking dish. Fill each half with the lentil mixture, using a spoon to pack it in tightly. Top each pepper half with the remaining ¼ cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Step 7
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
