Vegan Stuffed Bell Peppers

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Vegan Stuffed Bell Peppers.

1. Step 1

   To start your delicious kasha-stuffed bell peppers, grab a saucepan and warm up some olive oil over medium-high heat.

2. Step 2

   Once the oil is shimmering, toss in your chopped onion and minced garlic.

   Next, stir in the kasha, making sure each grain is well-coated with the oil, and let it cook for an additional minute to enhance its nutty flavor.

5. Step 5

   Now, pour in the vegetable broth and bring everything to a lively boil.

6. Step 6

   Once it’s bubbling, reduce the heat and let it simmer gently for around 15 minutes, or until the liquid is fully absorbed.

   After that, add in the chopped tomatoes, fresh parsley, a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, and season with salt and black pepper.

8. Step 8

   Give it a good stir and let it cook for another three minutes until everything is heated through and fragrant.

   While that’s happening, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it ready for the final bake.
