Green-Ana-Penos

While checking out our colorful bounty at the last farmers market, we realized that we had an abundance of  peppers. What to do with all those peppers, what to do... Pondering this for a moment, Kim came up with a brilliant veggie-based compassionate cook's response to the turducken. Introducing the Green-Ana-Peno! What is this you ask? Well, its a green pepper stuffed with an Anaheim pepper stuffed with a jalapeno pepper. How can you go wrong with this combination? Frankly, I don't think you can -- unlike the poor turducken monstrosity.


Green-Ana-Peno

serves 4

4 Green Peppers, heads cut off and seeded
4 Anaheim Peppers, heads cut off and seeded
4 Jalapeno Peppers, heads cut off and seeded
125g Tofu or roughly 1/4 of a block of tofu
1/8 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup Daiya Mozzarella
2/3 cup Trader Joe's Harvest Grains Blend cooked according to package directions
  1. Preheat oven to 375.
  2. Crumble the tofu in a bowl and add the soy sauce mix together well.
  3. Spoon tofu mixture into the jalapeno until full and set aside.
  4. Cut the bottom inch or so off the Anaheim pepper and set aside.
  5. Put a 1/4 of the cheese in the cavity of the Anaheim.
  6. Place the jalapeno in the Anaheim and set aside.
  7. If you have any cheese or tofu mixture left over mix it in with the Harvest Grains.
  8. Fill the green pepper with the grains mixture about halfway.
  9. Place the Ana-peno into the green pepper and top off the pepper with the remaining grains.
  10. Cook for about 35 minutes or until the peppers are dark green and a little wrinkly.
  11. Enjoy!
