No, that’s not peppers stuffed with vegetarians. It’s peppers not-stuffed with meat… or peppers stuffed with not-meat. (One of those.)

Remember the days when I used to write funny pieces on Friday—or at least attempts at humor—rather than copying out of my recipe book? Yeah, those were good times, weren’t they. But I posted a photo of this one up on my personal Facebook profile, and my Facebook friends were so enthralled that now I am compelled to afflict you with yet another recipe involving beans and/or rice.

This one is actually exceedingly simple, and still I managed to screw it up. (So you might want to use a dose of caution and common sense if you try this.) It’s roasted peppers stuffed with spanish rice. I made it up myself! And still, it tastes pretty good. (Imagine that.) For the benefit of my Facebook friends, who want the recipe, I’ll explain to you what I think I ought to have done, and how I screwed it up in real life.

Let’s start with what I should have done. (So be aware that I haven’t actually tried this recipe yet, as written.)
