This Bulgur and Mushrooms Stuffed Peppers recipe is so crazy delicious, even if it takes longer to cook. It may seems difficult at first, but you’ll see how easy it is after you’ll make it.
Bulgur is a cereal and it does contain gluten. It’s a whole grain and comes from different wheat species. You can either cook it or soak it in warm water. You can replace it with rice and other cereals, but if you do so you’ll need to add more water.
I recommend you to use red bell peppers, rather than green or yellow. The red ones are the sweetest and will have a great taste after roasting in the oven. Choose large bell peppers and preferably choose the ones with a flat bottom so they can sit perfectly. After removing them from the oven, you don’t need to peel the peppers. That skin is perfectly edible.
Feel free to spice the stuffed peppers based on your preferences. Add thyme, oregano, bay leaves, chili flakes, curry powder, etc.
Tools you’ll need to make this recipe:
- high pan or wok
- oven safe tray
