Stuffed Red Peppers

Hopefully winter is leaving; at least we have some warmer weather mixed in with the cold.  Last weekend, when deciding what to cook for a dinner party, my wife told me she would like to have roasted, stuffed red peppers and maybe a pork roast to go along.  Since the weather was cooler it turned out to be a good idea; hopefully a great send-off to this winter season.

When I think of stuffed peppers I think of ground beef and rice stuffed “nothings”, can you tell I am not a fan.  Well I have been making this recipe for many years now and they always are the hit of the meal.  NO ground beef here, just caramelized onions, garlic and tomatoes, slow-roasted in the oven.  Great tasting and great looking, these will add a pleasant surprise to any meal.

Roasted, Stuffed Red Peppers

Cut peppers in half lengthwise, discard the ribs and seeds.
Sauté onions and garlic in 1 TB oil until lightly brown, add thyme, sugar and black pepper. Remove from heat, add tomatoes and salt.
Brush peppers with remaining oil, fill with mixture. Place in an ovenproof pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes, serve warm.
