Stuffed Bell Peppers, In the News, and Enjoy
Stuffed Bell Peppers - Laura and I produced what was most assuredly the tastiest stuffed bell peppers ever created by man. In the News - They walk among us! Enjoy
- Relax and enjoy these images and videos!
I cut a quantity of bell peppers lengthwise and removed the seeds, membranes, and stems.

Laura dropped the bell pepper halves into a pot of boiling water and par-boiled them for three minutes. She then plunged them into an ice-water bath to halt the cooking. After a few minutes, she removed them from the ice-water bath and arranged them in a large Pyrex dish.
I chopped, sliced, shredded, and diced the following:
* half a large white onion
*four large white mushrooms
*12 garlic cloves
*two large sprigs of fresh sage
*two large Jalapeño peppers
*four small Thai peppers
*one medium habanero pepper
Laura combined these ingredients with a pound of ground turkey breast in a large sauté pan, added various herbs and spices, and sautéed until all was fully cooked. She added a cup of cooked rice and eight ounces of marinara sauce and stirred until it was fully incorporated. She spooned this delightful filling into the waiting bell pepper halves.

She generously scattered shredded pizza cheeses atop the bell pepper halves and placed the dish in the oven, which was pre-heated to 325°. When the cheese was melted, the dish was removed from the oven and set aside to rest for a few minutes.

This was easily one of the tastiest meals ever enjoyed by humans.

We enjoyed this wonderful creation so enthusiastically that we devoured the balance Sunday evening!

Laura has proven herself to be an excellent chef. Traditionally, I have done most of the cooking. I generally do not use recipesother than my own. Laura has an excellent talent for finding recipes that appeal to her and producing great meals from them. She has an ability to make whatever alterations in the recipes she feels are warranted to better address our personal tastes.
Tonight, I shall produce my famous Spicy Panko-encrusted Chicken Livers with Calrose Rice.

The recipe is simple: Place one cup of Calrose rice and two cups of water in a casserole dish. Cover with a dampened paper towel and cook on high for five minutes in a microwave oven. Stir and continue to cook on high for another three minutes or until rice is fully cooked. Cover and set aside.

Wash chicken livers and set aside on paper towels. Add ground black pepper, red pepper flakes, Gebhardt's chili powder, and granulated garlic to one box of Panko and mix thoroughly. Place chicken livers in Panko mixture and coat well. Pour 1/4 cup of extra-virgin olive oil in a large sauté pan and pre-heat to medium. Add chicken livers and cook until brownedturning once. When livers are fully cooked, add green onions, stir lightly, pour over rice, and take the dish to the table.

Use Sriracha hot chili sauce as a condiment. This is an absolutely delicious meal.

Laura made Habanero Ginger Jelly. This is absolutely delicious on buttered toast, crackers with cream cheese, or just about anything!
