Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place green and red bell peppers in a bowl with enough warm water to cover, and soak for 5 minutes.

02

Step

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground pork and chopped onions to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook until the pork is evenly browned. Drain off any excess grease, then stir in the dry white wine and tomato puree. Continue cooking for 10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

03

Step

Transfer the skillet mixture to a large bowl. Gently mix in the feta cheese, cooked white rice, raisins, pine nuts, and chopped fresh parsley until well combined. Carefully stuff each bell pepper with the mixture, packing it in firmly. Arrange the stuffed peppers in a baking dish.

04

Step

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for another 10 minutes, or until the stuffing is lightly browned and the peppers are tender. Serve hot or cold, as desired.

For a vegetarian option, substitute the ground pork with an equal amount of cooked lentils or crumbled tofu.
Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices to customize the flavor profile to your liking. A pinch of dried oregano or a dash of smoked paprika can add a wonderful depth of flavor.
These stuffed peppers are perfect for making ahead of time! They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and are just as delicious (if not more so) the next day.
