Description

These corn-stuffed peppers are a vibrant, vegetarian delight that balances the sweetness of corn with the earthy crunch of bell peppers. The filling combines cream-style corn, fresh kernels, and crumbled cornbread for a hearty texture, while parsley and chili powder add a burst of freshness and gentle heat. Parboiling the peppers ensures they stay tender yet firm, creating the perfect vessel for the savory stuffing. Baked until golden and basted with vegetable broth, these peppers are moist and flavorful. They make an excellent light main course or a sophisticated side dish for summer barbecues, potlucks, or any meal needing a colorful, plant-based component.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (191&# 194;°C).
  2. Fill a large kettle or pot with water and bring it to a rolling boil.
  3. Slice the tops off the bell peppers to create lids, then remove seeds and membranes from the inside.
  4. Carefully lower the pepper shells into the boiling water and parboil for 2 minutes.
  5. Remove the peppers with a slotted spoon, invert them on paper towels, and let them drain.
  6. In a skillet, heat corn oil over medium heat and sauté chopped onions and crushed garlic until soft and translucent.
  7. Transfer the onion mixture to a bowl and let it cool slightly.
  8. Stir in cream-style corn, corn kernels, crumbled cornbread, parsley, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
  9. Pack the corn mixture firmly into the hollowed-out pepper shells.
  10. Place the stuffed peppers upright in a baking dish and pour the vegetable broth around the base.
  11. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 40 minutes.
  12. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, basting occasionally with the broth from the pan.
