Orzo Stuffed Peppers
My friend Hailey texted me a few weeks back a picture of her dinner, Orzo Stuffed Peppers and said "Thought my foodie friend would appreciate"… and I did. She had the recipe from her food blog perusing in the summer, but couldn't remember what blog it was from (useless ;)). The recipe I linked is one very similar to what she had sent me, but I liked her ingredients better. My edits to the recipe I gave you are: the addition of mushrooms (which were fried up with the onions), chicken broth as opposed to vegetable broth, white cheddar cheese and goat's cheese, as opposed to the cheeses the recipe suggested. I also didn't have fresh basil, so I sprinkled in some dried basil to the orzo mixture. I also didn't have a can of diced tomatoes… so I diced a tomato. I was working with what I had at home so I didn't have to go grocery shopping! The recipe is for 6 peppers and the one Hailey sent me was for 3 peppers… and I only used two peppers… so I basically just guessed measurements of things. Normally I write my blog posts after I've eaten, but because this one has such a long baking time I'm writing it now. MAN is time passing slowly. When Hailey made it for herself she didn't wait the 5 minutes it suggests at the end… I'm getting antsy and might do the same... but then I'll probably burn myself… maybe I'll wait like 3 minutes. So I waited the appropriate amount of time, but only because I had to take pictures. It was pretty delicious. However, if I make these again I might add some sort of spice (perhaps some spicy italian sausage or just some red pepper flakes). And definitely more goat's cheese. And more garlic spinach.

I like the white plate presentation. Very profesh. Also, yum.
ReplyDeleteTotally going to make these. Maybe with feta. Thoughts?
ReplyDeleteI like the thoughts with feta!! I love everything with feta. Well basically any cheese. But feta and goats in particular.
DeleteFeta would be good. I think feta would be better actually, because it's salty. Definitely eat it with some chicken on the side though. Or sausage in it!
