Vegetarian Stuffed Bell Peppers – A successful gastronomical experiment

Its recipes like these which make me satisfied to be a vegetarian.  Its easy and simple enough to make on the high seas. I highly recommend it. 

Vegetarian Stuffed Bell Peppers

1/2 Teaspoon salt

2 Tablespoon oil

1 Tablespoon pesto sauce

1 1/2 Cup uncooked rice

3 Cup vegetable stock

4 large bell peppers

1/2 onion

1 stick celery

1 carrot

1 zucchini

12 Ounce chopped tomatoes

4 Cup pasta sauce

1/4 Cup ketchup

2 garlic cloves

1 Teaspoon dry basil

1 Teaspoon dry oregano

1 Teaspoon dried bay leaf

1/2 Teaspoon pepper

2 Cup asiago cheese

Cook rice in vegetable stock.  Place all other ingredients accept for the bell peppers, rice, and cheese in a food processor and chop.  Mix with rice.  Stuff in 4-5 large bell peppers depending on the size.  Cook until peppers are soft, sprinkle top with asiago cheese.  Enjoy!

Note to all vegetarians, if you don't have a food processor, get one.  I don't know how I survived this long without one.  Chopping all your favorite veggies, garlic, spices, etc.. in small pieces one at a time makes a 15 min recipe turn into hours of chopping, so invest in a food processor.
