Ingredients
6 peppers 1 cup diced zucchini 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 cups chopped onions 3/4 cup sweet white corn 6 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano 3 garlic cloves, chopped 2/3 cup cooked basmati rice, cooled kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste 6 oz. boursin cheese 1 1/4 pounds ground bison meat (or ground beef if you prefer)
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 400 F. Cut the ends off the peppers and carefully remove the ribs and seeds. Place in a vegetable steamer and cook until slightly softened, 5 - 8 minutes. Allow to cool. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until they start to turn translucent. Add in the ground bison meat and cook, stirring frequently, until the meat starts to brown all over. Add in the zucchini and corn and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add in the garlic and cook briefly, stirring well. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Stir in the cooked basmati rice, oregano and boursin cheese. Spoon the stuffing into the reserved peppers and place in a baking pan. Bake in the oven 8-10 minutes.
