Grilled Stuffed Peppers

These grilled stuffed peppers are a vibrant, high-protein dish that balances the earthy sweetness of charred green peppers with a deeply savoury meat filling. By using a blend of lean minced beef and venison sausage, the stuffing gains a complex, gamey depth that pairs beautifully with aromatics like garlic and fresh parsley. This recipe is particularly versatile, allowing you to tailor the heat and spice levels with your favourite seasoning blends, whether you prefer Middle Eastern notes or a smoky Cajun kick.

A brilliant option for healthy midweek dining or weekend entertaining, these peppers can be prepared well in advance and kept in the fridge until you are ready to cook. Grilling them first on the pepper side ensures the casing becomes tender and smoky, while finishing them meat-side down creates a delicious, caramelised crust. Serve them alongside a zesty tomato salsa for a light dinner, or slice up any leftovers to add a satisfying protein boost to sandwiches and wraps the following day.

Ingredients for Grilled Stuffed Peppers

  • 2 tablespoons seasoning blend of your choice

  • 1 teaspoon salt (omit if there is salt in the seasoning mix)

  • 120ml di vino bianco

  • 230g venison sausage (substitute breakfast sausage meat)

  • 230g di carne macinata di manzo

  • 190g cooked rice

  • 2 spicchi d'aglio, tritati

  • 1 uovo, sbattuto

  • 1/2 cup minced fresh parsley leaves

  • Peperoncino di Cayenna

  • Ground cumin

  • Oil, for frying

  • 3 small green peppers (four lobes preferred)

Mix the seasoning blend, salt, and wine in a small bowl and stir well. Then combine the mixture with all the other ingredients except the oil and peppers in a mixing bowl and mash with your hands until all the ingredients are evenly distributed. Put the meat in the refrigerator for an hour or more to allow the flavours to blend.

Heat a little oil in a frying pan and place a teaspoon of the meat mixture in the hot oil. Cook, turning frequently, until done on both sides. Taste, and adjust the salt and seasonings in the remaining meat mixture.

Cut the peppers in half through the stem so that they form six half-pepper cups. Fill each half pepper with meat mixture. Mound the meat no more than a 1/2 inch over the top edge of each pepper. The stuffed peppers can be made in advance to this point and stored covered in the refrigerator for several days.

Light the grill. Cook pepper side down over low heat for 10 to 12 minutes, until the pepper is charred and soft. Turn the stuffed peppers over and cook on the meat side for 10 minutes. Test for doneness. Serve immediately with your choice of salsas. These are also great cold or cut into slices for sandwiches.

Use kebab seasoning such as Sadaf, available in Middle Eastern grocery stores.

Use a Cajun spice blend such as Tony Chachere's or Zatarain's and omit the salt.
