🇬🇷 Greek-Style Stuffed Peppers with Chickpeas & Feta

These Greek-Style Stuffed Peppers turn simple ingredients into a colourful, satisfying dinner. Sweet roasted peppers are packed with seasoned rice, chickpeas, tomatoes and herbs, then finished with creamy feta. They are naturally hearty, easy to prepare and just as delicious reheated the next day.

⏱️ Prep & Cook Time

• Prep time: 20 minutes
• Cook time: 40–45 minutes
• Serves: 4

🧾 Ingredients

• 4 large red or yellow peppers, halved lengthways and deseeded
• 250g cooked rice
• 1 x 400g tin chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 200g cherry tomatoes, quartered
• 1 small red onion, finely chopped
• 2 tbsp Greek Seasoning
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Juice of ½ lemon
• 100g feta, crumbled
• 2 tbsp chopped parsley
• Black pepper, to taste

🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C, 180°C fan. Arrange the pepper halves cut-side up in a baking dish, brush with 1 tbsp oil and bake for 15 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, mix the rice, chickpeas, tomatoes, red onion, Greek Seasoning, remaining oil, lemon juice, half the feta, parsley and black pepper.
3. Carefully spoon the filling into the softened pepper halves, pressing it in gently. Cover loosely with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
4. Remove the foil, scatter over the remaining feta and bake for a further 8–10 minutes until the peppers are tender and the filling is hot.
5. Rest for 5 minutes before serving.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

• Serve with a crisp green salad and yoghurt dip.
• Add chopped olives to the filling for extra savouriness.
• For a vegan version, omit the feta or use a plant-based alternative.

💛 Why This Recipe Works

• Pre-baking the peppers ensures they become tender.
• Chickpeas add protein and make the filling satisfying.
• Greek Seasoning brings herb, garlic and lemon flavour without several separate jars.

🌿 Spice & Dipity Tip

Cooked leftover rice is ideal here, but always cool and store rice safely before using it.
