Recipe: Red Bell Peppers with Chorizo Stuffing

Made this recipe up today with a few fresh ingredients and stuff I scrounged from the fridge, and it was delicious!

Red Bell Peppers with Chorizo Stuffing
Serves: 4-6

Ingredients:
4-6 medium sized chorizo sausages
2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
1/2 cup crumbled feta or 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
1 cup frozen corn
1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
4 cloves chopped garlic
1 tbs chicken/pork grill seasoning (or salt and pepper to taste)
1 large red bell pepper per person being served. Select peppers that will sit upright on the baking tray.
Bread crumbs and/or parmesan cheese, if desired

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375
2. Split open chorizo sausage casings. Remove sausage filling from casings and chop or crumble filling into small pieces.
3. In a large bowl, mix together sausage filling, cooked rice, cheese, corn, parsley, garlic, and seasoning.
4. Cut the tops off the red peppers. Hull and rinse them, then place on the baking tray and fill with the sausage mixture.
5. Top with bread crumbs and/or parmesan cheese, if desired. Bake for 45 minutes or until peppers are done. They will be done when the skin starts to wrinkle, but before the peppers have browned.
