Lentil and Ricotta Stuffed Bell Peppers with Spinach
Oven-roasted bell peppers filled with a hearty mix of lentils, spinach, and ricotta, resulting in a satisfyingly creamy center.
INGREDIENTS
2 medium Red Bell Peppers
0.75 cup Cooked Lentils
0.5 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese
2 cups Fresh Spinach
2 tablespoons Egg Whites
1 clove Garlic, minced
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking dish with parchment paper.
Cut the bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes.
Steam or sauté the spinach with the minced garlic until the spinach is fully wilted, then squeeze out any excess moisture.
In a medium bowl, combine the cooked lentils, ricotta cheese, wilted spinach mixture, and egg whites.
Season the filling with a pinch of salt, black pepper, and dried oregano if desired, stirring until well combined.
Spoon the lentil and ricotta mixture into the bell pepper halves, pressing down gently to fill them completely.
Place the peppers in the prepared baking dish and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the peppers are tender and the tops are slightly golden.
