Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup water
• 1 pinch ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1 tomato, diced
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced
• 2 green bell peppers, halved and seeded
• ½ cup uncooked Arborio rice

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Stir in the rice. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat, and set aside.

Step 3

Place the peppers cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Roast 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until tender and skin starts to brown.

Step 4

While the peppers are roasting, heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the onions, basil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in oil for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the tomato, and cook for 5 minutes. Spoon in the cooked rice, and stir until heated through. Remove from heat, mix in the feta cheese, and spoon the mixture into the pepper halves.

Step 5

Return to the oven for 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
