🍅 Stuffed Tomatoes and Peppers

Stuffed Tomatoes and Peppers (Serves 6)

Ingredients:

6 large organic tomatoes, ripe
4 organic bell peppers (red or green)
1 cup organic long‑grain rice (~200 g)
½ cup organic finely chopped tomato juice or canned tomatoes
4–5 tbsp organic olive oil
1 large organic onion, finely chopped
Flesh removed from the organic tomatoes (reserved pulp)
1 cup organic fresh herbs (parsley, mint)
salt and organic black pepper, to taste
1 tsp organic unrefined sugar
1 tsp organic oregano
optional: 2–3 tbsp organic walnuts or raisins

Directions:

Cut small “caps” from the top of the tomatoes and peppers. Carefully scoop out their pulp and reserve it.
Over medium heat, sauté the organic onion in 4 tbsp olive oil for 2–3 minutes. Add the reserved tomato pulp, salt, pepper, and half the fresh herbs. Pour in the chopped tomato juice (or canned tomatoes), stir, and remove from heat.
Mix the organic rice into the onion–tomato mixture. Stir in the sugar, oregano, remaining fresh herbs, and walnuts or raisins if using.
Fill the tomatoes and peppers about three‑quarters full with the rice mixture, then place their caps back on.
Arrange the stuffed vegetables in a baking pan. Drizzle a little olive oil over them and add some water to the bottom of the pan. Cover with foil and bake at 180 °C (350 °F) for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil, drizzle with a bit more olive oil, and bake for another 60 to 90 minutes, until the rice is tender and the tops are gently browned.
