Stuffed capsicums

September 16, 2015 By Kyra - Vie De La Vegan 10 Comments

Today’s VeganMoFo prompt is:

16. What’s your favourite late summer food?

We’re past the halfway mark of VeganMoFo now, and I don’t know about you, but I’m certainly feeling the drain of posting everyday! I mean…I love it, I love this recipe-making, photo-taking, blog-writing lifestyle. But my creative juices are running a bit on empty.

So I’m taking this opportunity to cook a recipe from my favourite cookbook :)

Stuffed capsicums | Vie De La Vegan

At first I couldn’t think of a favourite late summer food (it’s late winter here, so I’m still thinking all about soups and oatmeal), but these dolmade-stuffed capsicums from Annie Oliverio’s Crave Eat Heal are the perfect late summer meal! I love dolmades, and this is a clever idea to combine dolmade-stuffing into capsicums (or peppers).

I’ve tried making stuffed capsicums a few times in my life but never really had much success. The whole thing would turn out undercooked…crunchy rice…raw capsicum…it was never a nice affair. Annie’s recipe worked perfectly for me though, YAY! Don’t you just love it when your recipe actually resembles the photo from the recipe book?

However, I did make a few alterations, mainly because I was underprepared. I would have loved to make the dolmade stuffing that Annie made, but I had no olives or sultanas. And then I was thinking I wouldn’t have enough stuffing for all my capsicums, so I grated up some carrot and zucchini to go in as well. It would have been much tastier with the olives and sultanas though…

But, the rice was well cooked, and the capsicums were cooked through. It was a really tasty meal, especially with the cashew cream sauce (recipe also in Crave Eat Heal).

You can find this recipe in Crave Eat Heal by Annie Oliverio.

Comment below and let me know:

  • What is your favourite late summer food?
  • Do you prefer cooking from cookbooks or just making up your own meals?

    Yum! A dolmade filling sounds so delicious! What’s the sauce being poured overtop in the first photo?

      The sauce is a cashew cream sauce which was also included with the original recipe in Crave Eat Heal :)

    Its been a long long time since I’ve had a stuffed Pepper

    and now you have me wishing for some, I like dolmades too, so this filling sounds good to me – think I’d skip the raisins though. I was not aware of this cookbook, so will read you post and check out the link. I am focusing on tomatoes for this prompt, and I am not talking about stuffed tomatoes – don’t even go there :)
    Thanks for your comment on my blog by the way, the flowers are nasturtiums from my garden.

      Yes, my husband isn’t a fan of raisins in savoury meals either, but I thought it would be an interesting dish :) tomatoes are a great late-summer vegetable (or fruit!) – I’ll come over and check out what you made!

    Stuffed peppers are one of those standbys that I always fall back on when I need something tasty and easy, but there’s so many ways to cook them, they’re never boring. Note to self – cashew cream sauce is needed!

      I had never associated stuffed peppers with “easy” before I made this recipe, but they are (and definitely not boring either!). I loved the cashew cream sauce, it really added another dimension of flavours :)
