To make the stuffed peppers we had to improvise a little because we could not use store bought tomato sauce like I normally would. A friend of mine a while back told me a fresh tomato sauce recipe so I though I would give it a shot with a few alterations.
What you will need
3/4 cup cooked Brown rice (white would work also) 4 fresh tomatoes, 2 small shallots, 2 Anaheim peppers, 1/4 lb ground beef, tarragon, oregano and pepper and some extra virgin olive oil.
-cook rice according to directions
For filling:
-Boil 3 fresh tomatoes for 7 minutes
- While that is happening put a small bit of olive oil on in the bottom of a medium saute pan and soften the shallots.
- using a slotted spoon transfer the hot tomatoes from boiling water into the saute pan and cook while mushing slightly to create a chunky sauce, season with tarragon, oregano and fresh pepper.
- add beef to sauce and brown
-add rice
Peppers: Steam lightly
-fill with filling and top with slices of the final tomato
Bake at 400 until soft about 10 minutes
I hope you enjoy our first salt free meal!
