Dinner 1 Hr. 20 Mins.

Ingredients

4

4 servings

  • ½ cup long grain white rice
  • 1 cup water, or as needed
  • ⅓ cup minced yellow onion
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh oregano
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh dill
  • ½ teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
  • 1 pound ground lamb
  • 2 green bell peppers
  • ¼ cup tzatziki sauce, or more to taste
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • ½ cup chopped fresh tomatoes

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Place 1/2 cup rice in a container and cover with water. Allow to soak for the 15 or 20 minutes, and drain well.
  • Combine onion, garlic, rosemary, parsley, oregano, dill, coriander, salt, and pepper in a large bowl; stir to combine. Add ground lamb and drained rice. Using your hands, mix well until ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • Slice bell peppers in half, top to bottom, and remove membranes and seeds. Evenly divide lamb mixture amongst each of the bell pepper halves. Set stuffed peppers in a shallow baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until filling is cooked through, about 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the filling should read 160 degrees F (71 degrees C). Allow to cool slightly, and garnish with tzatziki (see note). Sprinkle feta cheese crumbles and chopped tomatoes evenly over the stuffed peppers before serving.
