  • 1 lb ground pork
  • 3 large bell peppers any color

  • 1 cup chicken broth

  • 1 tbsp canela
  • 1 tbsp marjoram substitute oregano
  • 1/4 cup parsley diced

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Slice the bell peppers in half and take out any seeds and place in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and place in the oven for 10 minutes.
  • While the peppers bake, prepare the ground pork filling.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and melt the butter.
  • Once the butter is melted, add in the onion and sauté for 3-5 minutes.
  • Add in the ground pork and cook for 5-7 minutes until mostly browned.
  • Remove the pepper from the oven and set aside.
  • Add in the salt, pepper, and cinnamon to the ground pork mixture, and stir.
  • Add in the can of diced tomato (don’t drain it, the juice will help cook the rice), the rice and stir well.
  • Reduce to low heat and continue to cook for 5 minutes. Add in the chicken broth.
  • Cover the skillet and cook for another 5 minutes or until the rice is fully cooked. Cook ground pork to an internal temperature of 160°F.
  • Scoop the filling into the peppers and top with fresh parsley.
  • Serve the peppers right away, or you could pop them back into the oven for another 5 minutes if you’d like the peppers softer.
  • To serve, add 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt to the top of each pepper and a sprinkle of parsley.
