INSTRUCTIONS
1. Cook
rice in water until fluffy via your favorite method: stovetop, rice cooker, or
pressure cooker.
2. Depending
on method chosen this will take 10 (pressure cooker) to 20 (rice cooker +
stovetop) minutes.
3.
Preheat
oven to 350 degrees F.
4.
Heat
a skillet with oil and sauté garlic and spinach until tender and fragrant.
5.
Season
with basil, red pepper flakes, oregano, salt, and pepper.
6.
Add
cheese, saving a little extra for topping if desired.
7.
Stir
in your rice and mix well. Remove from heat.
8.
Slice
your peppers in half, removing the veins, stems, and seeds.
9.
Stuff
liberally with cheesy spinach and rice filling.
10.Top
with extra cheese (YES!) and red pepper flakes (spiiiiicy!) if desired.
11.Bake
on a foil-lined baking sheet until hot and melty! You'll bake them less for
more crisp, al-dente peppers and a bit longer for super-soft tender peppers -
the choice is yours! I baked mine around 8-10 minutes. For softer peppers, bake
approx. 20 min.
12.Garnish
with fresh parsley and any extras you'd like and dig in!
