Our Feta and rice stuffed peppers recipe is so easy to make and the perfect lunch or side dish to a main dish. The stuffed peppers are juicy and flavoursome. This stuffed peppers recipe has a Greek feel to it with the feta cheese and olives. It's a really easy and tasty dinner that the whole family will love. We used pre-cooked rice for this so it was ready in just 15 minutes. This is a great way to get 3 of your 5-a-day with the roasted peppers, olives and cherry tomatoes. The feta cheese gives this a good salty flavour but you could always used Cheddar or a blue cheese for extra punch. We tried wild rice here but there's nothing to stop you from using cous-cous or even bulgar wheat.
Ingredients
- 4 peppers, any colour, cut in half (seeds removed)
- 2 packets of pre-cooked wild rice (or 300g of uncooked)
- 20 black olives, chopped
- 250g feta, cubed
- 250g cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 red onion, finely chopped
- 1 tsp chilli flakes
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp celery seeds
- 1 tbsp olive oil
