Green Lentil Stuffed Peppers
Megha Patel
Hello friends! <3 Today I’m sharing my Green Lentil Stuffed Peppers. I posted an old photo on my Instagram page last week and I got so many requests to remake this recipe. I honestly just winged it the first time, but this time I wrote down my exact measurements, and used Bob’s Red Mill Green Lentils. I swear – it was life changing.
I love love love Bob’s Red Mill products because they have SUCH a huge variety of products. If you aren’t a fan of Green Lentils, you can try their Red Lentils for this recipe as well. Their products are sold in so many grocery stores and you can also buy them online. I was so happy because they sent me products that I haven’t tried before, which got me thinking of new recipes to share with you guys!
I actually used to hate stuffed peppers because as a vegetarian, I didn’t want to fill my pepper up with more vegetables. I also don’t like filling them with too much rice because that tends to get very dry. I chose green lentils because they are basically a substitute for meat in this dish. And when you add ginger and the rest of the spices, it reminds me of my mom’s food, which makes this pepper 100x more special.
This recipe is really easy to make, and can even be used as an appetizer. You KNOW that I’m all about the apps… so I am always on the lookout to create things that can be turned into mini versions at the same time. If you find assorted mini bell peppers, you can cut them in half and spoon the filling into them. It’s easy to eat and pretty to look at!

***TIP***
If you have extra filling left over, mix it with some quinoa. It’s perfect for lunch the next day. You can keep it refrigerated for up to three days.
