Directions

  1. Prepare all ingredients as indicated. Preheat oven to 350˚F. In a pan, sauté onion, leek, thyme, and trimmings from the red pepper with butter until lightly golden. Add mushrooms and cook until lightly brown. Add lentils and deglaze with wine. Remove from stove.
  2. In a bowl, combine bread, sautéed mixture, stock, and a dash of salt and pepper. Feel free to add a little more stock for additional moistness, if desired. In a separate bowl, toss whole peppers with oil to coat and lightly season with salt and pepper. Stand peppers upright and stuff with prepared mixture. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until peppers are tender and the tops are golden.
