^^^ How to do a stuffed pepper summer justice, guys.

I saw the prettiest multi-color sweet peppers at the farmers market last week and these beauties were born. Like the moment I saw them I was envisioning the stuffed peppers of a lifetime.

For that we must enlist orzo. And allllllll the Greek goodness. And thus >>> piles of feta. I really really enjoy piles of feta in all the things.

Really though. Stuffed peppers of our freaking summer dreams. ??

These are ridiculously easy to pull off, guys. Yes, they’re gorgeous as heck but they’re also easy as heck. I just really love it when pretty food has easy in the same sentence.

  1. Prep yo peppers. Pick out three pretty guys, halve ’em and take out all the seeds.
  2. FILLING. The heart and soul here. Cooked orzo, olives, garlic, lemon juice, sun-dried tomatoes, pine nuts, spinach, and feta. Lots of feta as previously stressed.
  3. Stuff ’em within an inch of their pepper lives. Then a short bake time. Then the time of your life.

These are everything you could ever ask of a stuffed pepper, honestly. I could eat approximately 1093 of these.

Ask me to prove it and I will with no hesitation.

    I love stuffed peppers, orzo and Greek flavors, so count me in! These peppers are so beautiful, too. I’m anxiously waiting for about (8) yellow bells to ripen in my garden — I’m so excited to stuff them!
