Impossible Stuffed Peppers Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups water
• 1 cup uncooked white rice
• 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 1 medium yellow onion, chopped, divided
• 1 medium poblano pepper, chopped, divided
• 4 cloves garlic, chopped, divided
• 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed
• 2 medium tomatoes, cut into chunks, divided
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 pinch ground chipotle seasoning
• Salt to taste
• 1 (12 ounce) package Impossible Burger
• 2 teaspoons adobo all-purpose seasoning
• 2 cups fresh spinach
• 6 large bell peppers

Directions

Step 1: Combine water and rice in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and all the water has been absorbed.

Step 2: While the rice is cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium pot. Add half of the chopped onion, poblano pepper, and garlic. Saut for about 3 minutes until softened.

Step 3: Stir in the black beans and half of the chopped tomatoes. Cover and let simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 4: Add the cooked rice to the black bean mixture. Season with cumin, chipotle, and salt to taste. Stir well and set aside.

Step 5: Preheat the oven to 350F (175C).

Step 6: Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet. Add the remaining onion, poblano pepper, and garlic. Saut for another 3 minutes until softened.

Step 7: Add the Impossible Burger to the skillet, breaking it up as it cooks. Season with adobo seasoning and salt. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the burger is no longer pink.

Step 8: Add the black bean and rice mixture, fresh spinach, and the remaining tomatoes to the skillet. Mix well and let it simmer for another 3 minutes.

Step 9: Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the cores. Stuff each pepper with the filling mixture.

Step 10: Arrange the stuffed peppers in a baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the peppers are tender.

Tips

• If desired, substitute 1 1/2 cans of fire-roasted tomatoes for the fresh tomatoes: add one can to the rice mixture and half a can to the burger mixture.
