Jamie Oliver’s Stuffed Peppers are a wholesome dish made by filling bell peppers with a flavorful mixture of rice, vegetables, herbs, and sometimes meat or cheese. The peppers are baked until tender, creating a delicious combination of soft, sweet pepper with a hearty filling inside.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Stuffed Peppers:

  • 4 large bell peppers (any color)
  • 1 cup cooked rice (white, brown, or quinoa)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 zucchini, diced
  • 1 carrot, grated
  • 200g canned chopped tomatoes
  • 1 tbsp tomato purée
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 100g feta cheese (optional, for topping)
  • Fresh parsley or basil for garnish

For a Meat Option (Optional):

  • 200g minced beef, chicken, or turkey (add while sautéing onions)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven – Set your oven to 180°C (350°F) to warm up while preparing the peppers.
  2. Prepare the peppers – Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds. Lightly brush the inside with olive oil and set aside.
  3. Sauté the vegetables – Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute.
  4. Cook the filling – Add the diced zucchini, grated carrot, and any additional vegetables. Cook for 3-5 minutes until softened.
  5. Add seasonings and rice – Stir in the chopped tomatoes, tomato purée, oregano, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes. Mix in the cooked rice and stir well to combine.
  6. Stuff the peppers – Fill each bell pepper with the prepared rice mixture, pressing down slightly to pack it in.
  7. Bake to perfection – Place the stuffed peppers in a baking dish, drizzle with the remaining olive oil, and bake for 30-35 minutes until the peppers are tender.
  8. Add cheese (optional) – If using feta cheese, sprinkle it on top of the peppers in the last 5 minutes of baking.
  9. Garnish and serve – Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley or basil, and enjoy warm!
