What a lovely meal!
As soon as I saw purple jasmine rice at Whole Foods, I knew it was time to make a stuffed pepper. I bought some gorgeous medium-sized red, orange and yellow peppers to stuff and my CSA and herb garden provided the tarragon, parsley, basil and chives.
I cooked the rice with a little red lentils and before I stuffed them into the peppers I cooked them almost like a risotto - adding liquid in three stages until the rice was al dente. I then added 2 cups of fresh herbs.
After the peppers were stuffed, I added a 1/4 c of tomato sauce to each pepper and baked them for 1 hour.
Absolutely delicious.

Looks fantstic...I love stuffed peppers! My ex husband's later mother taught me how to make them...Hungarian style. Delicious! She did both ways...with meat and without.
