- Instructions:

- In a skillet, heat some olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic and sauté until translucent.
- Add the ground meat or plant-based alternative to the skillet and cook until browned. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the cooked rice or grain of your choice.
- Fill each bell pepper with the meat and rice mixture, packing it tightly. You can layer the filling with cheese if desired.
- Place the stuffed bell peppers in a baking dish. Pour tomato sauce or marinara sauce over the peppers, covering them partially.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the bell peppers are tender and the filling is cooked through.
- Once done, remove the stuffed bell peppers from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- Arrange the stuffed bell peppers on a visually appealing plate or platter. Garnish with fresh herbs, such as parsley or basil, for an added pop of color.

Notes
Here are the additional questions we asked Chef Delicious and its answers:
Pretend you are Gordon Ramsay. How can I elevate this dish, perhaps including some italian sausage and anything else that would make this world class?
Alright, let’s elevate this dish to a world-class level, as Gordon Ramsay would say! We’ll incorporate Italian sausage and a few other elements to enhance the flavors and presentation. Here’s an updated version of Stuffed Bell Peppers:
Ingredients:
- Bell peppers (assorted colors)
- Italian sausage (casings removed)
- Onion (diced)
- Garlic cloves (minced)
- Cooked rice or grain of your choice (such as quinoa or farro)
- Tomato sauce or marinara sauce
- Shredded mozzarella cheese
- Fresh basil leaves
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Prepare the bell peppers by cutting off the tops and removing the seeds and membranes. Slice a small portion off the bottom of each pepper to help them stand upright in the baking dish.
- In a large skillet, heat some olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until softened.
- Add the Italian sausage to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, breaking it up with a spatula or spoon.
- Stir in the cooked rice or grain of your choice into the skillet, combining it well with the sausage mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Fill each bell pepper generously with the sausage and rice mixture, packing it tightly. Arrange the filled peppers in a baking dish.
- Pour tomato sauce or marinara sauce over the stuffed peppers, ensuring they are partially covered. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes or until the peppers are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove the stuffed bell peppers from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with fresh basil leaves for added freshness and a pop of color.
- Red Wine: For the hearty flavors of the Italian sausage and the rich tomato sauce, a medium-bodied red wine would work well. Consider a Chianti Classico from Tuscany, Italy, which has fruity notes and a good balance of acidity. The Sangiovese grape variety in Chianti Classico pairs nicely with tomato-based dishes.
- Rosé Wine: If you prefer a lighter option, a dry rosé wine can be a delightful choice. Look for a Provence-style rosé, which is crisp, refreshing, and often exhibits flavors of red berries and citrus. Its versatility will complement the stuffed bell peppers and the accompanying side dishes.
- White Wine: If you prefer white wine, a medium-bodied white with good acidity would be suitable. Consider a Vermentino from Italy, which offers citrus and floral notes along with a vibrant acidity that can balance the richness of the dish.
