Sandy Kitely
Ingredients:
1 cup brown rice
2 1/4 cups vegetable broth
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon coriander
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions
2 cloves garlic - minced
1/4 cup fresh oregano - roughly chopped (or 1 tbsp dried)
1 1/2 cups corn
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
4 poblano peppers - sliced in half, seeds removed
In a large pan, add the rice, vegetable broth, cumin and coriander.
Bring the broth to a boil, reduce the heat to low and cook for 45 minutes or according to package directions.
Stir the green onions, garlic, oregano and corn into the pan of cooked rice.
Add the shredded cheese, and stir until well blended and the cheese has melted.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Spray a 9 inch by 13 inch glass or ceramic baking dish with non stick cooking spray.
Place the poblano peppers on the bottom of the baking dish.
Stuff each of the poblano peppers with the rice and cheese mixture.
Extra filling can be placed on the bottom of the casserole dish, around the stuffed peppers.
Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until lightly brown on top.
ENJOY!
