Liberian Stuffed Peppers

== Description ==
== Ingredients ==
* 4 medium red or green peppers
* 2 T olive oil
* 1 medium Onion, chopped
* 1 clove garlic, peeled and crushed
* 2 small zucchini, coarsely grated
* 1 1/2 c sliced Mushrooms
* 2 T chopped fresh parsley
* 2 c fresh wholewheat breadcrumbs
* 1/2 c grated Parmesan cheese
* 1 egg, beaten
* salt and pepper
== Directions ==
1) Core peppers by removing stem and then scooping out interior,
removing all the white pith and seeds. Parboil for 3 minutes in
boiling water; remove, rinse in cold water and drain.
2) Heat oil in frying pan, add Onion, fry 2 minutes. Add zucchini, fry
another 3 minutes. Add Mushrooms, fry another 1 minute, drain [this is
to keep the filling from being soupy; you may want to try just
sauteing until the liquid is gone]. Add rest of ingredients, with salt
and pepper to taste. Combine thoroughly.
3) Fill peppers with mixture. Stand upright (cutting a small slice off
the bottom if necessary) in an ovenproof disk with 2 or 3 T water in
the bottom.
4) Bake at 350 degrees for 30–45 minutes, or until the peppers are
tender. Serve hot.
Ideas: add basil, top with cayenne pepper.
