What to serve with this easy stuffed peppers recipe:

Stuffed peppers will go great with a lot of dishes but here are my favourite things to serve with these stuffed peppers:

• Easy Butter Lettuce and Pomegranate Salad - you can't go wrong with a salad alongside these peppers and this butter lettuce with pomegranate salad would be perfect
• Simple Romaine Salad with Radish and Parmesan - romaine more your style? This easy romaine salad pairs perfectly with stuffed peppers too
• Rice, rice and more rice! More traditional stuffed pepper recipes will call for rice in the pepper itself but because this vegan stuffed pepper recipe doesn't have any rice, a side of rice would go quite nicely here. You could cook up some basmati rice with vegetable broth and squeeze some lime juice on it before serving. Yum yum😋(And yes: basmati is naturally gluten-free!)
• An easy bean salad - check out this easy bean salad from Simply Recipes.
• If you're keeping it vegan, a roasted vegetable dish would go nicely. Check out these Roasted Cinnamon Sweet Potatoes or these Oven Roasted Vegetables from Erin at Well Plated.

What does marjoram taste like?

Marjoram has a sweet and almost spicy taste to it but it's not a heavy or powerful flavour.

Marjoram is a close cousin to oregano but oregano has a stronger flavour than marjoram.

It's bests to add marjoram at the end of the cooking process as it doesn't hold up well in high heat and/or long cooks.

The best part about these easy stuffed peppers? They're vegan and gluten-free!

Ingredients

• 1 package Lion's Mane Mushroom Crumble (300g)
• 1 shallot
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 2 cup cups baby spinach
• 4 bell peppers red, orange or yellow
• White wine vinegar
• Salt and pepper

Instructions

• Prepare the bell peppers: cut the tops off and then clean out the inside. You can use a small pairing knife, cutting away the white parts or just use your hands and get in there. If there are seeds left in the pepper, turn it upside down and give it a few taps on the side - they should fall out. Arrange the peppers in a baking dish.
• Using a non-stick pan, add about 2 teaspoon of olive oil and heat gently for a few minutes. Then add the shallot and garlic. Stir over the heat for a minute then add the spinach. Cook the spinach in the pan until it wilts. Season with some kosher salt.
• Then add the Lion's Mane Mushroom Crumble to the pan, breaking it up and combining with the spinach mixture.
• After about 2 minutes of cooking add 1 tablespoon of white wine vinegar and the chopped marjoram. Stir to combine.
• Remove from heat.
• Spoon the mushroom mixture into the bell peppers, dividing evenly.
• Bake the peppers in the pre-heated oven for about 12 minutes or until heated through. Serve.

Notes

Leftovers are good the next day - just re-heat them in the oven or microwave if you're in a rush.
