Mediterranean Onion and Feta Stuffed Peppers

Ingredients

• Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
• Salt (to taste)
• Black pepper (to taste)
• Dried oregano (1 teaspoon)
• Fresh parsley (1/4 cup, chopped)
• Feta cheese (1 cup, crumbled)
• Onion (1 large, chopped)
• Bell peppers (4 medium (any color))
• Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
• Lemon juice (1 tablespoon)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the bell peppers by cutting off the tops and removing the seeds and membranes. Brush the outside lightly with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt.
3. In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sautéed onion and garlic with the crumbled feta cheese, chopped parsley, dried oregano, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well integrated.
5. Generously stuff each bell pepper with the onion and feta mixture, pressing down gently to ensure it's packed in.
6. Arrange the stuffed peppers upright in a baking dish. If they are wobbly, trim a small piece from the bottom to create a flat surface.
7. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25-30 minutes. In the last 10 minutes, remove the foil to allow the tops to become golden brown.
8. Serve hot, garnished with additional fresh parsley if desired, and enjoy your flavorful Mediterranean stuffed peppers!
