Chorizo Stuffed Peppers

Photo: dish shown pre-cooked

Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 45 minutes
 
4 green, red, yellow or orange bell peppers (I used all four colors)
1 lb pork chorizo sausage, out of casing 
1 cup onion, chopped 
1 cup carrot, chopped
1 tsp oregano 

I bought the pork chorizo at whole foods butcher counter, it's so flavorful already, you don't need a whole lot of additional seasoning, which is great. 


Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Cut the top off of each pepper; discard the tops and seeds. Chop the onion and carrot and add it to a bowl. Add the chorizo, plus spices. Mix well. Stuff the meat mixture into each pepper. Place the peppers upright into a baking pan. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the peppers have softened.

Let cool for a couple minutes and serve. 

I found this recipe on Crossfitcenturion.com, but modified it slightly by subbing pork sausage for chicken, adding carrots and oregano. It's still cooking, but I think I'm going to like it!
