Cooking for two is effortless when you have a recipe like this one from Mary Cloninger of Kennewick, Washington. “It’s a favorite of mine and my husband’s,” Mary says. “You can use any color bell pepper you want, but red is so pretty.”

Ingredients

  • 1 medium sweet red pepper
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • 2 teaspoons butter
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil

Directions

  1. Cut red pepper in half lengthwise and remove seeds. In a large saucepan, cook pepper halves in boiling water for 4-6 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain and rinse in cold water; set aside.
  2. In a small skillet, saute the mushrooms, onion and garlic in butter until tender. Stir in the rice, salt and pepper. Spoon into pepper halves. Combine feta cheese and basil; sprinkle over filling.
  3. Place in two small baking dishes coated with cooking spray. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until heated through and cheese is lightly browned.
