An alternate version of traditional stuffed peppers. This is a vegetarian dish as written, but you can easily add any type of meat if you like.

Steps

1

Clean peppers and cut in half from top to bottom. Creating 12 halves. Clean out the stem, seeds and ribs.
2

Cook orzo according to box directions, but undercook it a few minutes, since it will continue to cook in the oven.
3

Meanwhile, in a skillet, cook the onion in the olive oil until tender and translucent. Add the garlic and other spices. Cook one minute...careful not to burn the garlic.
4

Add the spinach, torn up a bit into smaller pieces. Stir and cook over low heat until wilted.
5

Add the can of tomatoes and the cooked and drained pasta.
6

Add in the crumbled feta and stir well. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
7

Stuff the pepper halves with the orzo mixture. Place in a large casserole dish.
8

Sprinkle tops with the grated cheese.
9

Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes.
