What You’ll Need
- 1 lb. Prairie Fresh® ground pork
- 3 large bell peppers (any color)
- 1/2 cup white rice
- 14 oz. can diced tomatoes
- 1 white onion (finely diced)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon canela
- 1 tablespoon marjoram (substitute oregano)
- 1/4 cup parsley (diced)
- 1/2 cup whole milk Greek yogurt
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Slice the bell peppers in half and take out any seeds and place in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and place in the oven for 10 minutes.
- While the peppers bake, prepare the ground pork filling.
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and melt the butter.
- Once the butter is melted, add in the onion and sauté for 3-5 minutes.
- Add in the ground pork and cook for 5-7 minutes until mostly browned.
- Remove the pepper from the oven and set aside.
- Add in the salt, pepper and cinnamon (canela) to the ground pork mixture and stir.
- Add in the can of diced tomatoes (don't drain it, the juice will help cook the rice), the rice and stir well.
- Reduce to low heat and continue to cook for 5 minutes. Add in the chicken broth.
- Cover the skillet and cook for another 5 minutes or until the rice is fully cooked. Cook ground pork to an internal temperature of 160 degrees.
- Scoop the filling into the peppers and top with fresh parsley.
- Serve the peppers right away, or you could pop them back into the oven for another 5 minutes if you'd like the peppers softer.
- To serve, add 2 tablespoon of Greek yogurt to the top of each pepper and a sprinkle of parsley.
